釧路町
Kushiro Town
|
| ●開拓のはじめ |
|
明治３年に秋田、青森、函館の人が昆布森、仙鳳趾に定住し、昆布漁に従事したのが当町における漁村集落のはじまりとされている。一方、内陸部では明治23年山県牧場の開設をはじめとして移住が相次ぎ、畜産や野菜の栽培が行われた。内陸部は大正９年（現）釧路市より分村し釧路村となる。その後昭和30年に釧路村と昆布森村が合併し、現在の釧路町の原型となる。

| ●Beginning of Colonization |
|
The colonization of this town is said to have begun when people from Akita, Aomori and Hakodate settled in Konbumori and Senpoushi in 1870 and earned their living by gathering kelp, an activity that led to the formation of several fishing communities. The establishment of the Yamagata Stock Farm in 1890 prompted many people to move inland, where they raised cattle and grew vegetables. In 1920, this area separated from what is now Kushiro City to become Kushiro Village to form foundation of what is now Kushiro Town.
