History


The area of present-day Anjō has been continuously occupied since preshistoric times.
Archaeologists have found numerous remains from the Japanese Paleolithic period and burial mounds from the Kofun period.
During the Nara period, the area was assigned to ancient Hekikai County, and was divided into several shōen during the Heian period, largely under the control of the Fujiwara clan or the Taira clan.
However, in the Kamakura period, parts of the territory came under the control of the Jōdo Shinshū sect, who challenged the secular authority of the various samurai clans, most notably the Matsudaira clan.
During the Sengoku period, numerous fortifications were erected in the area.
Tokugawa Ieyasu unified the region and destroyed the power of the Jōdo Shinshū sect in the Battle of Azukizaka (1564).
During the Edo period, half of present-day Anjō was controlled by Okazaki Domain and the other half by Kariya Domain with some scattered portions of tenryō territory ruled directly by the Tokugawa shogunate in between.


At the start of the Meiji period, on October 1, 1889, Anjō was a collection of villages within Hekikai District, Aichi Prefecture. It was elevated to town status on May 1, 1906.
The opening of the Meiji Irrigation Canal transformed the area in the 1920s and 1930s into one of the most agriculturally productive regions of the period, sparking the comparison with Denmark, then regarded the most highly advanced agricultural nation in the world.[1]
This led to Anjō's moniker of "Japan's Denmark" (日本デンマーク), which remains in the form of Den Park, a Danish theme park, as well as Den Beer, a microbrew available in the park.


Anjō was elevated to city status on May 3, 1952. On April 1, 1967, it annexed the neighboring town of Sakura.



Economy


Anjō is a regional commercial center with a mixed economy of manufacturing and agriculture.


Due to its proximity to the various factories of Toyota in neighboring Toyota City, Anjō is host to many factories supplying components into the automobile industry.


The famous Japanese power tool company Makita was founded in Anjō, 1915. In addition to rice, wheat, and soybeans, notable agricultural products include figs, Japanese pears, and cucumbers.

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Image
The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix". [2] [3] MQB is one strategy within VW's overall MB (Modularer Baukasten or modular matrix) program which also includes th...
