Nishi-ku, Fukuoka

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nishi-ku (西区;-ku)　is one of the seven wards of Fukuoka City, Japan. Meaning literally "west ward," it is bordered to the east by Sawara-ku, and to the west by Maebaru and Shima. As of 2003, it had a population of 173,813 people and an area of 83.81 sq. km.

At the time of Fukuoka City's official designation as a City in 1972, Nishi-ku covered an area larger that it does today. On May 1, 1982, Nishi-ku was subdivided into the three smaller wards of Nishi-ku, Sawara-ku and Jōnan-ku.
