History

Ōizumimachi, Nerima, Tokyo roughly corresponds to former-time Hashido, Niikura District, Musashi (武蔵国新座郡橋戸村, Musashi-no-kuni Niikura-gun Hashido-mura). Its name was changed to Hashido, Kurehashi, Niikura District, Saitama (埼玉県新座郡榑橋村大字橋戸, Saitama-ken Niikura-gun Kurehashi-mura ōaza Hashido) in 1889, Hashido, Ōizumi, Kitatoshima District, Tokyo (東京府北豊島郡大泉村大字橋戸, Tokyo-fu Kitatoshima-gun Ōizumi-mura ōaza Hashido) in 1891, Kitaōizumimachi, Itabashi, Tokyo City, Tokyo (東京府東京市板橋区北大泉町, Tokyo-fu Tokyo-shi Itabashi-ku Kitaōizumimachi) in 1932, and Kitaōizumimachi, Nerima, Tokyo (東京都練馬区北大泉町, Tokyo-to Nerima-ku Kitaōizumimachi) in 1947.

In 1980, most part of Kitaōizumimachi and a portion of Ōizumigakuenchō were merged to become Ōizumimachi 1-chōme to 5-chōme. Finally in 1982, the rest of Kitaōizumimachi and a portion of Ōizumigakuenchō were merged to become Ōizumimachi 6-chōme.
