Miyakoji, Fukushima

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Miyakoji (都路町; -machi) was a village (村 -mura) located in Tamura District, Fukushima, Japan. On March 1, 2005, the village merged with four towns from the district forming the city of Tamura. The area covered by the former village has been reclassified as a borough (町 "-machi" is often translated "town," but the word "borough," like 町 "-machi," can mean either a division of a city or a town independent of any larger city: see the article on "Borough" for comparable usages) within the City of Tamura.

As of 2003, the village had an estimated population of 3,175 and a density of 25.33 persons per km². The borough's total area is 125.37 km².
