history

In 1954, the towns (- chō ) Kusakabe ( 日下 部 ; northern city center) and Kanoiwa ( 加納 岩 ; southern city center) and the villages (- mura ) Yamanashi ( 山 梨 ; in the southwest ) joined in the district of East Yamanashi ( Higashi-Yamanashi-gun ) ) Yawata ( 八幡 , in what was then northwest), Iwade ( 岩手 , in what was then North), Goyashiki ( 後屋敷 ; the east) and Hikawa ( 日川 ; in the south) to the first [independent] city Yamanashi (Yamanashi-shi) together . The current city of Yamanashi was created in 2005 in a "new founding merger " ( shinsetsu gappei ; formally a new community is created, even if it is of the same name as one of the forerunners) of the old city of Yamanashi with the [district] city of Makioka ( 牧 丘 ) above the confluence of the Tsuzumi-gawa upstream and the village of Mitomi ( 三 富 ) on the upper reaches of the Fuefuki.
