Article History

Kishiwada, city, southwestern Ōsaka fu (urban prefecture), west-central Honshu, Japan. It is situated on the southeastern coast of Ōsaka Bay, about 15 miles (24 km) southwest of Ōsaka.

The city developed around the castle founded by the Wada family in the 14th century. It passed into the possession of the Okabe family of daimyo (hereditary rulers) in the 17th century and became a major port by the early 1800s. Kishiwada’s traditional industry of tile manufacture was supplemented after World War II by the lumber, textile, and metal industries. Local agricultural products include rice, onions, and flowers. Pop. (2010) 199,234; (2015) 194,911.
