Chuo-ku has prospered as a commercial town since the Edo period, but it was also one of the best craftsmen's towns.
It is said that high-tech craftsmen were emigrated from people for the construction of Edo Castle, and the remnants of the town where people of the same occupation gathered were the old town name (O saw town, Kita Konya [Kita Konya] town, Kobiki [Kobiki] town, etc.) (from the article in the October 1 issue of the ward).
