三河吉田藩
Atsumi is one of the ancient counties of southern Mikawa Province and is mentioned in Nara period records. Due to its geographic proximity to Ise Province, during the Nara and Heian period, large portions of its lands were managed as "shōen" controlled by Ise Shrine or under the direct control of the Imperial family. During the Muromachi period, the Isshiki clan rose to prominence, but after the Ōnin War were displaced by the Toda clan, who built Tahara Castle. However, in the Sengoku period, the Doi were challenged by the rising power of the Makino clan and Matsudaira clan to the north, and the Imagawa clan to the east. In the Edo period, under the Tokugawa shogunate, most of the district was administered by the feudal domains of Tahara Domain, Yoshida Domain and Hatagamura Domain. After the Meiji Restoration, the area was merged into Aichi Prefecture.
