The ward name selection committee (composed of former administrative district reorganization council members, cultural figures living in the city, city council members, local residents, etc.) narrowed down to three proposals from the application, and as a result of voting, decided to be "Aoba Ward" .
- From the image of a beautiful city surrounded by trees
- We hope that it will be a ward that grows gently for the future so that young buds can grow vigorously.
- Because there was a wide range of citizens in the top application.
