History

Before the construction of Haneda Airport, the area was a prosperous mineral springs and beach resort centered around Anamori Shrine. In 1930, the Japanese postal ministry purchased a 53-hectare (130-acre) portion of reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay to the east of Haneda from a private individual in order to construct an airport. Haneda Airfield first opened in 1931 with a flight from the airport on August 25.

In 1932, the town of Haneda was merged into the newly created Tokyo City ward of Kamata, which was in turn merged with Ōmori to form Ōta in 1947.
