The fourth largest city in Japan, Nagoya forms the core of industry and tourism in the district. Industry within the city originally centered around pottery-making.

Historically, Nagoya was a typical castletown of feudal Japan built in the 16th century. Ieyasu Tokugawa (1542–1616), founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate, built the famous Nagoya Castle as a fortified residence for his son, whose descendants continued to reside there until the Meiji Restoration of 1868.
