History

In the past, the town of Kawatana was split into two villages named East Kawatana Village (東川棚村, Higashi-Kawatana-mura) and West Kawatana Village (西川棚村, Nishi-Kawatana-mura). In 1828, the two villages merged and became Kawatana Village. In 1934, Kawatana Village was upgraded into town status. During 1934 to 1962, nearby towns were incorporated into Kawatana.[2]

During World War II, manufacturing facilities associated with the Sasebo Naval Arsenal were constructed in Kawatana, leading to a temporary increase in population. The economy of the area is now heavily dependent on agriculture and fishing.[3]
