Settsu, Commercial center in northern Osaka Prefecture, Japan

The city extends along the right bank of the Yodo River, covering 76.49 square kilometers with a population density of 5,700 persons per square kilometer.

In 785, Wake no Kiyomaro constructed a canal connecting the Yodo River and Kanzaki River, marking a significant development in the region's water management.

The area belongs to the ancient Settsu Province, which contained the Sumiyoshi Taisha shrine, a central religious institution for the local population.

The Hankyu Kyoto Line and Tokaido Main Line provide east-west transportation through the northern section, while the Osaka Monorail runs north-south through the center.

The city maintains international connections through sister city agreements with Bengbu in China since 1984 and Bundaberg in Australia since 1998.
