広岡町

元禄9年(1696年)の地子町の肝煎裁許状には、「折違町廣岡町」と記されており、『国事昌披問答』にも「廣岡町」「図書町」「古道町」と並んで載せられている。

考えるに、『年代摘要』によると、享保12年(1727年)6月、北廣岡村・長田村の新家が願い出て建設したと見られる。これによれば、享保の頃に願い出て、村地を宅地へと転換し、町家を建て、長田町へとつながっていたと伝えられている。しかし、廃藩後には次第に家屋が取り壊され、田畑へと変わっていった。

English Version

According to the land tax town headman’s judicial permit from Genroku 9 (1696), the area was referred to as “Oritsugai Town Hirooka Town.” Additionally, Kokujisho Mondō (Records of National Affairs) lists “Hirooka Town,” “Tosho Town,” and “Kodō Town” together.

Based on Nendai Shuyō (Chronological Summary), in June of Kyōhō 12 (1727), new households from Kita-Hirooka Village and Nagata Village petitioned for and were granted permission to develop the land. From this, it can be inferred that around the Kyōhō era, land was converted into residential areas upon request, with townhouses built and connected to Nagata Town. However, after the abolition of the domain system, houses were gradually demolished, and the area was turned into farmland.
