==History==
The area of Inagi has been settled since the [[Japanese Paleolithic]], or for over 20,000 years, based on projectile points, [[stone tool]]s and [[microliths]] found in several locations within city borders. There is evidence of several [[Jomon period]] settlements, but settlement disappeared towards the end of the Jomon period due to climate change and eruptions of Mount Fuji. The area was sparely settled in the [[Yayoi period]], with increasing settlement density in the [[Kofun period]]. A number of [[Nara period]] remains have been found, including the ruins of a [[roof tile]] kiln. During the [[Heian period]], the area became part of a ''[[shōen]]'' controlled by the Oyamada clan, and later by their cadet branch, the Inabe clan into the [[Kamakura period]], and was an area contested between competing branches of the [[Ashikaga clan]] and [[Uesugi clan]] in the [[Muromachi period|Muromachi]] and [[Sengoku period]]s. After the start of the [[Edo period]], the area was ''[[tenryō]]'' controlled directly by the [[Tokugawa shogunate]].  Inagi as a municipality was founded on April 1, 1889 as a village in what was then [[Minamitama District, Tokyo|Minamitama District]], [[Kanagawa Prefecture]], from the merger of 6 pre-[[Meiji period]] hamlets with the establishment of the modern municipalities system. The district was transferred to the administrative control of Tokyo Metropolis on April 1, 1893.

On April 1, 1957, Inagi Village was promoted to town status, and to city status on November 1, 1971.

==Government==
Inagi has a [[mayor-council]] form of government with a directly elected mayor and a [[unicameral]] city council of 22 members. Inagi, together with the city of [[Tama, Tokyo|Tama]], contributes two members to the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly]]. In elections to the [[House of Representatives of Japan|lower house]] of the [[Diet of Japan]], the city is a part of the [[Tokyo 30th district]].

=== Elections ===
* [[2007 Inagi local election]]

==Economy==
Inagi is largely a [[bedroom community]] for central Tokyo due to extensive [[new town]] [[public housing]] projects in the late 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. There is also some residual agriculture, notably pears and grapes. The paper manufacturer, [[Nippon Filcon]] is headquartered in Inagi.
