History

Ōhashi was named after a bridge with the same name on the Meguro River. Formerly, the neighborhood was part of Komaba in the Village of Kamimeguro, District of Ebara. When address modernization was implemented in Japan, the neighborhood was planned to be named Aobadai 5-chōme and 6-chōme, but the residents hoped that it would be an independent neighborhood and thus it was named Ōhashi.
