Tokyo was originally called Edo, a small fishing village fortified by the Edo Clan in the late 12th Century. In 1457, Ōta Dōkan built Edo Castle. By the 18th century, Edo had grown into one of the largest cities in the world.
In 1869, the 17-year-old Emperor Meiji moved to Edo and the Edo Castle became the Imperial Castle and the city became established as the City of Tokyo.
