Other nearby cities were also formed from municipalities previously belonging to Hekikai District: Anjō, Kariya, Takahama, and Chiryū. Hekinan was the tenth city founded in Aichi Prefecture.〔 Since it had harbors and rails, the city recovered quickly from Pacific War. * On April 1, 1955, one part of the village of Meiji, which is currently called Nishibata, was incorporated into Hekinan. * On September 26, 1959, Typhoon Vera or the Isewan Typhoon heavily damaged the city. * On July 14, 1974, Rinkai Kōen Pool or also known as Kinuura Mammoth Pool was opened. Because the city reclaimed the seaside for industrial purposes in 1960's, Hekinan opened this pool for people who complained about losing their beautiful beach. * On May 23, 1988, Hekinan Municipal Hospital was opened.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=碧南市民病院改革プラン )〕 * In 1993, Hekinan Thermal Generating Station was created by Chubu Electric Power on the reclaimed ground. This provides high tax revenue to the city. * On August 17, 2003, since the facility of the Rinkai Kōen Pool became old and the number of the visitors of the pool was reduced, the city shut down the pool. Instead, the city created Hekinan Rinkai Park on the same place. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hekinan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
