Origin and History of Town Name
It is a town newly established from each part of Okubo-cho, Kamiooka-cho, and Saido-cho with the enforcement of the house indication in 1975. It was transferred from the former Minami Ward following the reorganization of administrative districts on October 1, 1969. In the old days, it was called Kubo-mura, Kurakigun, and when the municipal system was enforced in 1889, it became Ooka Kawamura Oaza Kubo, and in 1927 it was transferred to Yokohama City to Okubocho. The street name was "Okubocho" because there was already Kubocho in Yokohama city, so it was covered with the word "large".
Kunio Yanagida described in "Research on Place Names" in "Research on Place Names", "Kubo is very similar to Hodo from the topography, but it is a word (word) that works with Kuboi as an adjective and Kubom as an verb. It can also explain its meaning from modern language. "
There is Aoki Shrine in 2-chome.
