Date district

Date district encompasses three distinct municipalities - Kawamata, Koori, and Kunimi - covering a total area of 208.53 square kilometers in northern Fukushima Prefecture.

The district, established on January 27, 1879, underwent significant changes when five towns merged to form Date city in 2006, followed by Iino's annexation to Fukushima city.

The district maintains connections to the legacy of the Date clan, a prominent samurai family that shaped the regional administration during Japan's feudal period.

The district's population of 39,633 residents benefits from developed infrastructure, multiple transportation routes, and administrative services across its three constituent towns.

Located at coordinates 37.71336°N and 140.565717°E, the district forms part of the historical Iwashiro Province within the Tohoku region of Japan.
