History
The district was once known as "Ayuchi" (あゆち), and Aichi Prefecture was named after this district because the capital was placed at the (former) town of Nagoya, Aichi District.[citation needed] In the Meiji period, the towns of Nagoya and Atsuta (now Atsuta, Nagoya) formed the city of Nagoya and gradually absorbed the surrounding towns and villages.
