History
On October 1, 1932, the neighborhood was named Nerima-Minamichō. Then, Nerima Ward was part of Itabashi Ward. On February 1, 1963, when the residential address system began to be implemented in Nerima Ward, the neighborhood was renamed Nerima, and was divided into 4 Streets (chōme).[4] This was the first implementation of address format in Tokyo.
