Nakatsugawa was founded on 1 April 1951 by a merger of two villages, and
became a city on 1 April 1952. It has grown significantly since then. The
emblem features a stylised naka 中 (centre, inside) in the centre,
with two extra line making the emblem a circular shape. The design
symbolises the expansion like a cirlce (in all directions?) of
the city area by joingin with nearby villages, the peace of the union, and
the resulting rushing increase of the city population.
