- At the time of the transfer of Yokohama City in 1939, a town newly established from a part of the character Hiradai, the entire area of Kami-Saruyama, Shinji-mura, Tsuzuki-gun, and the Oaza Shimo-Saruyama. Transferred from the former Kohoku Ward following the reorganization of administrative districts on October 1, 1969. In the old days, it was called Kamisaruyama Village in Tsuzuki-gun, and when the municipal system was enforced in 1889, Nakamura, Tokaichiba Village, Enoki Shimomura, Kubo Village, Terayama Village, Daimura, Shimosaruyama Village, Kamoi Village, Hongoson, Kamisugeda Village, Araishinden merged with Shinji Village and Kamisaruyama. We decided to take the old Oaza name as the town name, but since "Monkey" has no good luck due to "Leave", "Kamisaruyama" except "Monkey", "Kamiyamacho". In the past, the forests around this area were deep, and many monkeys were growing. According to the study of place names, "monkey" is the same as "zare" and means "landslide." The Yokohama Line passes through the north side. The cheese factory in the town is the largest Snow Brand Milk Industry Yokohama Cheese Factory in Orient.
※With the indication of the residence on April 1, 2002, Kamiyamacho became Ueyama 1-chome to 3-chome.

At the time of the transfer of Yokohama City in 1939, a part of the character Hiradai will be divided into Kamiyamacho in Shinji-mura, Tsuzuki-gun, and Hakusancho will be established from the remaining areas. The name of the town should be taken from the old village name, and the monkey leads to "leave", so it was named after Shirayama Shrine, which is enshrined in the town. The Tsurumi River flows through the north side of 1-chome, and the Yokohama Line passes. There is Hakusan High-Tech Park at 1-chome and vacuum science and engineering headquarters factory (received the Machinami Landscape Award).

The name of the town should be taken from the old village name to be "Hongo-cho", but since there is already "Hongocho" in the old city of Yokohama, it is east, so the character name is "East". The Tsurumi River runs on the north side, and the Yokohama Line runs on the south side.
