The city was founded on February 11, 1956. The former mayor was Yutaka Asoda, who was elected to his third term of office in 2003. The present mayor is Yutaka Morishita, who was elected in 2007.
The exact spot ofEmperor Jimmu's accession to the imperial throne (i.e. the foundation of Japan) was debated for centuries until in 1863 scholars ofnational studiesclaimed to have identified an area within Kashihara as the exact location. The city was the location of the Imperial capitalFujiwara-kyō,from 694 to 710.
In the late 16th century it was said to be one of the two richestautonomous citiesof Japan, as inUmi no Sakai, Riku no Imai(tr. "by the sea,Sakai– inland, Imai "- Imai orja: Nay giếng đinhis now a part of Kashihara).
On 8 July 2022, after former Japanese Prime MinisterShinzo Abewasshotwhile campaigning in Nara City, he was taken to Nara Medical University Hospital in Kashihara for treatment, but died there.[2]
