History in the jurisdiction

The Tsuchizaki area is a port town that developed at the mouth of the Omono River, the prefecture's largest river.
At the end of the Muromachi period (1573), it flourished as one of the Seven Minato Minato in the Sea of Japan by the "Shufu Shimoku", and Miki Ando rebuilt Minato Castle in the site of the present Shinmeisha.
In Keicho 7 (1602), Yoshinobu Satake was appointed Minato Castle from Hitachi in place of Ando, but Mr. Satake built a castle in Kubota the year after the enclosement and abolished and demolished Minato Castle.
Under the Satake feudal politics, the westbound ship Kitamae-ship carried the clan rice and commercial rice to Osaka, and transported cotton, tea, salt, paper, etc. to the down load, and Tsuchisaki Minato was thriving.
In the Meiji era, the port movement occurred due to the movement of the river core due to the accumulation of monsoon and sedimentation, and the construction of the main stream of the Omonogawa River was carried out for 22 years from 1926, and completed in 1938.
Along with the river renovation, the port construction ceremony was held in 1958, and port construction was undertaken. However, construction was forced to be canceled due to the war, and many changes occurred. Tsuchizaki Port was merged with the city and renamed Akita Port, and since then it has been fully developed as a modern port.
At present, based on the Port Renaissance 21 business plan that began in 1988, Selion, Selion Lista, and Akita Marina have been opened one after another, and are expected to develop in both logistics and tourism in the prefecture.
