==History==
==History==
The area of present-day Ten-ei was part of ancient [[Mutsu Province]] and formed part of the holdings of [[Shirakawa Domain]] during the [[Edo period]]. After the [[Meiji Restoration]], it was organized as part of [[Iwase District, Fukushima|Iwase District]] in the [[Nakadōri]] region of [[Iwashiro Province]]. The villages of Makimoto, Yumoto, Oya and Hiroto were established on April 1, 1889 with the creation of the modern municipalities system. The village of Ten-ei was formed on March 31, 1955 with the merger of the villages of Makimoto, Yumoto, and a portion of Hiroto with the village of Osato. Many of the houses in the village suffered severe damage from the 2011 [[Tohoku earthquake and tsunami|Tohoku earthquake]].

History[edit]

The area of present-day Ten-ei was part of ancient Mutsu Province and formed part of the holdings of Shirakawa Domain during the Edo period. After the Meiji Restoration, it was organized as part of Iwase District in the Nakadōri region of Iwashiro Province. The villages of Makimoto, Yumoto, Oya and Hiroto were established on April 1, 1889, with the creation of the modern municipalities system. The village of Ten-ei was formed on March 31, 1955, with the merger of the villages of Makimoto, Yumoto, and a portion of Hiroto with the village of Osato.[citation needed]

Its population was above 10,000 in the 1950s, and this was the highest its population ever was.[6]

Many of the houses in the village suffered severe damage from the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, after which Ten-ei has experienced accelerated population decline. Additional population losses before and after the earthquake were due to the community being far from key sites.[6]

Economy[edit]

In the 1950s the economy of Ten’ei was primarily made up of factories and agricultural operations.[6] Ten-ei circa 2023 is majority agricultural, with Yacón a noteworthy crop.[citation needed]
