History
The villages of Katayanagi and Ōsato were created within Kitaadachi District, Saitama with the establishment of the municipalities system on April 1, 1889. The village of Haruoka was created in 1892 and the village of Nanasato in 1912. On November 3, 1930 the village of Ōsato was merged with Ōmiya Town in 1940, becoming part of the city of Ōmiya. On January 1, 1955, Ōmiya annexed Katayanagi, Haruoka, and Nanasato. On May 1, 2001, Ōmiya merged with Urawa and Yono cities to form the new city of Saitama. When Saitama was proclaimed a designated city in 2003, this area of former Ōmiya city became Minuma Ward.
