| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from color slide. "Hakata-ku (博多区) is one of the wards of Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is best known as the location of Fukuoka's main train station, Hakata Station. ... Formerly, Hakata was an independent city. Hakata, which was closer to the sea, housed the city's merchants. ... During the Meiji period, in 1889, Hakata and Fukuoka cities marged. The Fukuoka Prefectural government decided to name the combined city Fukuoka, though the population of Hakata was 25,677 and Fukuoka was 20,410. At that time, the name of Hakata vanished from the administration. At the same time a new train station was built, and it was named Hakata Station."--Wikipedia. |
