Statistical data showing the current situation and changes in Konan Ward
Please refer to the latest "Data Book Konan".

With the enforcement of the house indication in 1977, it is a town newly established from each part of Sasashita-cho, Morigaoka 2-chome, Isogo-ku, Tanakacho, and Morimachi.
In the old days, it was called Sasa Shimomura in Kuragi-gun (Kurakigun) Shimosasashita (Miscellaneous Village, Matsumoto Village, Sekimura Shimogo Mimura), and was merged with Hino Village, Yabe Nomura, Tanaka Village, Kuriki Village, Kaminakazato Village, Minemura Hisasamura Kotori 9 and Sasamori.
There is a theory that "Sasaki" was used as the place name, and this was later accented from "Sasagi Village" to "Sasa Shimomura". When Mr. Hiroyoshi Takeuchi built a castle here (Shino Shimojo), the place name of the ancestor's birthplace, Oomi-kuni Shino Bamboo Go, was named in this area when Mr. Mamiya built a castle here (Shino Shimo). It is said that this became "Sasashita". In the Buddhist temple bell casting of Bunroku (1592) at Tofukuji Temple in Sasa Shimogo-chome, "Sasashita Shikimura" is said to be the first appearance of the place name Sasashita.
The Sasa Shimokawa (Ookagawa) flows through the center, and the Sasashita Kamariya Road passes through.
