History

Numerous Jōmon period remains have been found near Lake Yamanaka, and ancient Tsuru County, of which the area is a part, is mentioned in the late Nara period Engishiki records. The area was a contested border region between the Takeda clan, Imagawa clan and Odawara Hōjō clan during the Sengoku period.

During the Edo period, all of Kai Province was tenryō territory under direct control of the Tokugawa shogunate. During the cadastral reform of the early Meiji period in 1875, the village of Nakano was created within Minamitsuru District, Yamanashi Prefecture by the merger of Yamanaka and Hirano hamlets. This village was renamed Yamanakako Village on January 1, 1965.
