History
Prior to the arrival of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the area was known as Script error: No such module "Nihongo".. The area developed as townspeople settled along the Kōshū Kaidō.
In 1878, the Kōjimachi area became Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., a ward of the city of Tokyo. In 1934 and 1938, the addressing system along the Koshu-Kaido was reorganized, creating the 6 chomes subdivision for Kōjimachi that are still used.
In 1947, Kōjimachi Ward was merged with Kanda Ward to form the modern special ward of Chiyoda, and the 6 chomes became the Kōjimachi district.
The area centered upon Kōjimachi - including the districts of the Banchō area, Kioichō, Hirakawachō and Hayabusachō - is sometimes referred as the Kōjimachi area (麹町地区), not to be mistaken with Kōjimachi Ward (麹町区).
This place is also known for being the birthplace of Hideki Tojo, general of the Imperial Japanese Army and Prime Minister of Japan during the Second World War.
