Nagano was formerly known as the province of Shinano, and was divided among many local daimyo during the Sengoku period.
Nagano was host to the 1998 Winter Olympics, which gained the prefecture international recognition as well as gaining the prefecture a Shinkansen line to Tokyo.
The city of Saku, the town of Usuda from Minamisaku District, and the town of Mochizuki and the village of Asashina (both from Kitasaku District) merged to form the city of Saku.
