Saitama Prefecture
The first people who stayed permanently in this area are considered to have arrived approximately twenty five thousand years ago. Paleolithic archaeological sites found in the area include Matsuki (松木?), Wadakita (和田北?), Kitajukunishi (北宿西?), and Mamiya Miyaushiro (間宮宮後?). In the early modern period, the area witnessed large-scale civil engineering projects: the construction of the Minuma Reservoir (見沼溜井 Minuma Tamei?), the demolition of the reservoir, and the creation of the Minuma Irrigational Canal (見沼代用水 Minumadai Yōsui?). Daimon-shuku (大門宿?) became one of the post stations of the Nikkō Onari Kaidō.
