==History==
==History==
The area around present-day Midori Ward was formerly part of Tsuzuki District in [[Musashi Province]]. During the [[Edo period]], it was a rural region classified as ''[[tenryō]]'' territory controlled directly by the [[Tokugawa shogunate]], but administered through various ''[[hatamoto]]''. After the [[Meiji Restoration]], the area became part of the new [[Kanagawa Prefecture]] in 1868. In the cadastral reform of April 1, 1889, the area was divided into numerous villages. During the [[Meiji period]], the area was a center for [[sericulture]]. On April 1, 1939, Tsuzuki District was annexed by the neighboring city of Yokohama. In a major administrative reorganization of October 1, 1969, Midori emerged as an independent ward within the city of Yokohama. In 1980, a portion of Midori Ward was transferred to [[Seya-ku, Yokohama|Seya Ward]]. In 1994, Midori-ku was divided into the present-dau Midori-ku, and Aoba-ku and Tsuzuki-ku.

After the Meiji Restoration, the area became part of the new Kanagawa Prefecture in 1868. In the cadastral reform of April 1, 1889, the area was divided into numerous villages. During the Meiji period, the area was a center for sericulture. On April 1, 1939, Tsuzuki District was annexed by the neighboring city of Yokohama. In a major administrative reorganization of October 1, 1969, Midori emerged as an independent ward within the city of Yokohama. In 1980, a portion of Midori Ward was transferred to Seya Ward.
