Komazawa ( Jap. 駒沢町 , Komazawa- machi , before 1925 駒沢村 , Komazawa- mura ) was a district town (machi) in the district Ebara the Japanese prefecture of Tokyo in the south of the ancient province of Musashi . As part of the "Greater Tokyo" incorporation of 1932, Komazawa was incorporated into the city of Tokyo and part of the Setagaya district there .
As a modern community , Komazawa emerged in 1889 from the villages of Kami- ("Upper") and Shimo-Umahikizawa ("Lower Umahikizawa"; 上 ・ 下馬 引 沢 村 ), Nozawa ( 野 沢 村 ), Tsurumaki ( 弦 巻 村 ), Setagaya-Shinmachi ( 世 田 ヶ 谷 新 町 村 , Setagaya-Shinmachi-mura , "Setagaya New Town Village") and Fukasawa ( 深 沢 村 ). The Koma- ( 駒 ) in the name Komazawa comes from the Uma / Ma ( 馬 , horse) in Umahikizawa, the sawa / -zawa ( 沢 , swamp) from Nozawa and Fukasawa. Komazawa became a city in October 1925.
Before the Meiji Restoration, most of the forerunner villages belonged to the domain of the Shogun and its smaller vassals , parts of Umahikzawa and Tsurumaki were part of the Setagaya Territory, an exclave of the Principality of Hikone of the Ii (see also Setagaya (district) ). Then the area came to Shinagawa Prefecture , which was incorporated into Tokyo in 1871.
The former area of the city of Komazawa extends into the following districts of Setagaya today: Shimouma ( 下馬 ), Kamiuma ( 上馬 ), Tsurumaki ( 弦 巻 ), Nozawa ( 野 沢 ), Komazawa ( 駒 沢 ), Komazawa-kōen ( 駒 沢 公園 ), Sakura -Shinmachi ( 桜 新 町 ), Shinmachi ( 新 町 ).
