In July 2004, the city of Rumoi, the town of Obira from Rumoi District, and the town of Masahike were supposed to form the South Rumoi Three-Municipality Merger Board, aiming at merging the three, in which case Rumoi and Masahike Districts would cease to exist. However, that hasn't occurred yet whatsoever.
