Fukagawa was the sea shallow for some distance dotted with an islet the early stages of the Edo period.
In 1629, the eight fishing town was done by six persons besides the ‘Jirobei’ which obtained the reclamation permission near a permanent island, and ‘tousaemon’. The upper bridge was made into the ‘Jirobei Town’, and south was made into ‘tousaenon Town’ from inside bridge. It merged after that in 1695 and changed into Saga-cho. The name of a town is said to have been connected with geographical feature resembling the country Saga harbor in Higo.
－ＪＰ－ 江戸時代初期は、深川は小島の点在する遠浅の海でした。 寛永６年（1629年）、永代島付近の埋立許可を得た次郎兵衛・藤左衛門ほか６名により、漁師町八ヶ町ができあがり、上之橋の方を次郎兵衛町、中之橋より南を藤左衛門町としました。その後1695年に合併し佐賀町と改めました。町名は地形が肥後の国佐賀湊に似ていることに因んだと云われています。
