Hazu district, Former administrative district in Aichi Prefecture, Japan
Located in southeastern Aichi Prefecture, Hazu district covered an area of 84.55 square kilometers with a population density of 696 inhabitants per square kilometer.
Established on December 20, 1878, during the Meiji period reforms, Hazu district initially contained the town of Nishio and thirty-six smaller villages.
The district maintained strong connections to Mikawa Bay, where local communities specialized in processing shark meat and sharkskin for Imperial household taxes.
Prior to its dissolution in 2011, the district consisted of three main towns: Hazu, Isshiki, and Kira, which merged into the expanded city of Nishio.
The district underwent multiple administrative changes, with towns gaining and losing their status before stabilizing with three principal municipalities in 1955.
