The name derives from a market traditionally held on the 20th of each month with ''hatsuka'' (廿日) meaning "20th day" and ''ichi'' (市) translating to "market". The market continues to this day on a small scale featuring fresh, locally grown vegetables and foodstuffs. Following the absorption of the nearby towns of Ōno and Miyajima on November 3, 2005 (as of February 2010), Hatsukaichi has a population density of 235 persons per km². The total land area stands at 489.36 km². ==History== * The name "Hatsuka-ichi" was from the ichi on the 20th of every month from Kamakura Period. * "Hatsukaichi-machi", Saeki District, Hiroshima was founded on April 1, 1889. * The city "Hatsukaichi" was founded on April 1, 1988. * On March 1, 2003, the town of Saeki and the village of Yoshiwa, both from Saeki District, merged into the expanded city of Hatsukaichi. * On November 3, 2005, the towns of Miyajima and Ōno (both from Saeki District) were merged into Hatsukaichi.
