Kita-Adachi ( Jap. 北足立郡 , -gun , "Circle North Adachi") is since 1879 a district (- gun ) of ostjapanischen Prefecture (- ken ) Saitama . It was formally created through the division of the ancient Adachi district of the Musashi province during the nationwide reactivation and reorganization of the districts as an administrative unit in 1878/79 - but Adachi was de facto already at the establishment and consolidation of the prefectures between the prefectures of Saitama and Tokyo in north and south South Adachi ( Minami-Adachi )has been divided, which is why the names are sometimes used retrospectively for the early Meiji period. Immediately before the Meiji Restoration, a large part of the district as well as large parts of the Musashi province around the seat of government Edo belonged to the shogunate domain ( bakuryō ; including goods from Hatamoto ), parts of Adachi belonged to the principality (- han ) Oshi .

The district administration was located in the city ( - machi , historically - shuku ) Urawa , where the prefectural administration of Saitama was also located. Like all districts in Japan, North Adachi expired as a regional authority in the 1920s, but is still used as a geographical name and its composition is continued. However, in the great territorial reforms of the 20th century, the majority of its territory was absorbed into cities (- shi ) , including in particular Urawa, which became a district in 1934, and the other forerunners of the new prefectural capital Saitama, established in 2001, and since the incorporation of Fukiage after Kōnosu 2005 Kita-Adachi consists of only one municipality: the [district] city (-machi) Ina .
