Draft:Minami-Centrair

Minami-Centrair (南セントレア市, Minami-senntoreashi) was the name of the city that would have been established through a merger between the towns of Minamichita and Mihama, both located in Chita District, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, which failed in 2005.

The proposed name was highly controversial among local residents, and was the main reason why the merger failed. Despite the name, the Chubu Centrair International Airport is not located in neither of the towns, but is located in the city Tokoname north of the two cities.

History

Although the merger council gave up making the name of the new town "Minami-Centrair", the merger council dissolved following a failed referendum in March.
