History: Kōriyama once thrived as a Shukuba town because of its importance as a traffic focal point. Kōriyama was formerly called Asaka (安積) [no publs. in OCLC]. In the Meiji period, the Meiji government had many samurai reclaim the land to help the poor. As a result, Asaka developed into a big food basket and the population grew. Kōriyama was incorporated as a city on 1 September 1924. In 1965, the city merged with some nearby towns and villages. In 1997, the city was designated as a "core city")
