Kanashima, Gunma

Kanashima (金島村, Kanashima-mura) was a village located in Gunma, Japan during the years 1889–1954.

History

Kanashima Village was formed in 1889 as a result of the merging of five villages: Akutsu Village, Kanai Village, Kawashima Village, Nanboku Village, and Ubashima Village.

On April 1, 1954, Kanashima Village merged with Furumaki Village, Toyoaki Village and Shibukawa Town to become Shibukawa City.

Today

The area formerly held as Kanashima Village is now a part of Shibukawa City, and the name of the former village is retained in the names of an elementary school, a junior high school, and a train station.


gollark: You were in the top 20 in your country in maths-related exams, no?
gollark: In general, yes.
gollark: Did you know? The ǂ boson is a type of Boson in the Standard Model. It is prohibited from existing by the laws of physics, but by using a complicated type of particle collider one can still create them using floating point errors. A Floating point accelerator was created by a team of Beniɲ scientists and used to successfully prove the existence of the ǂ boson. The decay exponential of the ǂ boson has base 0.. The ǂ boson has a mass of -65535 ðg, a spin of NaN RPS, no electric charge, and a tactile charge of lemon.
gollark: ¿¿¿
gollark: It's not even hugely minimal though. They have ridiculous special cases to patch over the lack of general solutions.
