Sapporo is primarily known outside Japan as the host city for the 1972 Winter Olympics, and for the annual Snow Festival which draws more than 2 million tourists from around the world.
Prior to its establishment, the area occupied by Sapporo (known as the Ishikari Plain) was home to a number of indigenous Ainu settlements.
In 1868 (the officially recognised year celebrated as the 'birth' of Sapporo), the new Meiji government concluded that the existing administrative center of Hokkaido, which at the time was the port of Hakodate was in an unsuitable location for the defense and further development of the island.
