The castle site was chosen by Lord Yamauchi Kazutoyo in
1601. The city takes its name from that of the castle. As the centre of
administration for the province, and the prefecture which succeeded it, the
town rapidly grew to become the largest settlement of the region.
During the time of the Meiji Restoration, Kōchi became
famous as a centre of pro-imperial ideology, and later for incubating
democratic and human rights movements. The river plain now containing the city
centre was originally settled as a castle town around the seat of the lords of
Tosa Province, Kōchi Castle.
