In the Edo era, the area around Eda, where the Oyama Kaido passed, was bustling as a sideways of the Tokaido, was busy, but until the high growth period in the late 30s, the area was quiet rural areas.
With the opening of the Denentoshi Line in 1966, rapid population growth began, and Midori Ward was born in 1969. In 1969, the population of the Aoba area was about 50,000.
