Santō district, Administrative district in Niigata Prefecture, Japan
The Santō district comprises a land area of 44.38 square kilometers with Izumozaki as its single constituent town in Niigata Prefecture.
The district emerged from the former Koshi District and received its official administrative designation on April 9, 1879, marking a new era in local governance.
Local residents maintain traditional practices while adapting to changes in regional administration, particularly through the municipal reorganizations of the early 2000s.
The district maintains a population density of 94.4 persons per square kilometer, with approximately 4,190 inhabitants recorded as of July 2019.
Several towns, including Koshiji, Mishima, Teradomari, and Yoita, formerly part of Santō, merged into Nagaoka city between 2005 and 2006.
