Local History : During the Edo Period, this area was ruled by the Mōri clan, the center of Chōshū Domain, with their stronghold at Hagi Castle for 250 years. The samurai of Chōshū Domain played a major role in the Meiji restoration of the 1860s, and many leaders of the Meiji government came from this city.
