It united several villages in the area and was divided into the districts ( ōaza ) Nagasaki and Ochiai. In 1899 the town hall in the Nagasaki district was completed. In October 1926, a few months after the district administration was dissolved in the course of the abolition of the districts, Nagasaki was elevated to a (district) city ( machi ).
