Haneda (羽田, Haneda) is a district of Ōta, Tokyo, Japan. As of January 1, 2011, Haneda had a total population of 14,885.[1] The district gives its name to Haneda Airport, the busiest airport in Japan by passenger traffic.
History
[edit]
Before the construction of Haneda Airport, the area was a prosperous mineral springs and beach resort centered around Anamori Shrine. In 1930, the Japanese postal ministry purchased a 53-hectare (130-acre) portion of reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay to the east of Haneda from a private individual in order to construct an airport.[2] Haneda Airfield first opened in 1931 with a flight from the airport on August 25.[2]
In 1932, the town of Haneda was merged into the newly created Tokyo City ward of Kamata, which was in turn merged with Ōmori to form Ōta in 1947.[3]
