History

The area of Ogachi Distict was formerly part of Dewa Province, which was divided into the provinces of Ugo Province and Uzen Province following the Meiji restoration on January 19, 1869, with the area of Ogachi becoming part of Ugo Province. At the time, the area consisted of two towns and 53 villages formerly under the control of Kubota Domain and 33 villages formerly under the control of Iwasaki Domain, with one village formerly shared between the two domains. Akita Prefecture was founded on December 13, 1871.

With the establishment of the municipality system on December 23, 1878, Ogachi District, with two towns (Yuzawa and Iwasaki) and 23 villages was established.

Yokobori and Innai were raised to town status on July 19, 1895, followed by Nishimonai on July 6, 1897 and Inaniwa on June 4, 1902.
Kawatsura became a town on March 22, 1933.
The city of Yuzawa was established on March 31, 1954, absorbing the former towns of Yuzawa and Iwasaki.
The town of Ugo was established on April 1, 1955.
The town of Ogachi was formed on April 15, 1955, absorbing the towns of Yokobori and Innai.
The towns of Inaniwa and Kawataura merged on September 30, 1955 forming the new town of Inakawa (which then was absorbed into the city of Yuzawa, along with the town of Ogachi and village of Minase on March 22, 2005).

Following this merger the total area of the district became 434.32 km², and the district was left with only the town of Ugo and village of Higashinaruse.
