Towns and villages

Miura District was one of the ancient subdivisions of Sagami Province, covering all of Miura Peninsula. It was under the control of the Miura clan from the late Heian period through the Sengoku period, and was held as tenryō territory administered by the shōgun under the Tokugawa shogunate of the Edo period. After the Meiji Restoration, it was established as a district under the cadastral reform of 1878, with a district office built near what is now Shioiri Station.

On April 1, 1889, Miura District was divided into the following municipalities under the Meiji :
* three towns
* 12 villages.
On October 1, 1903, Toyoshima Village was promoted town status, but was absorbed into the town of Yokosuka on December 15, 1906.
On July 1, 1911, Nakanishiura Village was renamed as the village of Nishiura.
On June 1, 1914, Urago Village was promoted town status and was renamed as the town of Taura.
On April 1, 1924, Tagoe Village was promoted town status and was renamed as the town of Zushi.
On January 1, 1925, Hayama Village was promoted town status.
On February 2, 1925, Nagai Village was promoted town status.

However, in 1943, Yokosuka expanded greatly by absorbing the towns of Uraga, Zushi, Nagai and Okusu and the two neighboring villages of Takeyama and Kitashitaura.
On July 1, 1950, Zushi was separated from Yokosuka.
