Katō ( Japanese 加 東郡 , - gun ) was a district of Hyōgo Prefecture (formerly Harima Province ) until 2006 .

It was created by dividing the ancient Kamo ( 賀 茂 郡 , Kamo-gun / Kamo no kōri ) into the Katō ( 加 東 ; "Ka [mo] -Ost", but with 加 instead of 賀 ) and Kasai ( 加西 ; "Ka [mo] -West").

Shortly before the Meiji Restoration of the circle between Kato was shogunate and - hatamoto place of birth ( bakuryō ) and small ecclesiastical territories and a number of principalities / Großlehen (- han ) divided, including Himeji , Koga , Hamamatsu and Tanagura . The small (10,000 koku = the minimum for a daimyō) Principality of Ono under the Hitotsuyanagi had its seat and most recently its entire territory in the southwest of the district. The Mikusa-han under the Isshiki-Niwa , also small, set up in 1746, sat in the northeast of the Katō-gun.

After the abolition of the Han , the resulting prefectures and ex- and enclaves in the area of ​​the Harima province were consolidated in the Himeji / Shikama prefecture in 1871 . With this came the Katō district to Hyōgo in 1876. After the modern reactivation of the districts as an administrative unit in 1878/79, Katō comprised three urban (- machi / -chō ) and 118 rural settlements (- mura / -son ) , the district administration was set up in Yashiro. The Prussian-influenced district order (gunsei) of 1890 was implemented in Hyōgo and thus also in the Katō district in 1896. After the Hara cabinet abolished the districts as an administrative level in 1921, the district administration and district council of Kato were dissolved in the 1920s, as was the case throughout the country.

When today's community forms were introduced in 1889, the district was divided into 15 villages (-mura / -son) . By 1954, three cities (-machi / -chō) and eleven villages emerged from this , in the same year six communities in the southwestern part of the district of Katō became part of the independent city (-shi) Ono . In 1955 the remaining area was merged into three cities, in 1956 a small part was transferred to Ono-shi. Finally, in 2006, the Katō district also expired as a geographical unit, when the three remaining cities of Yashiro, Tōjō and Takino were dissolved in the independent city of Katō .
