Etymology


The name of Yonago in the Japanese language is formed from two kanji characters. The first, 米, means "rice", and the second, 子 means "child".



History


Yonago was first formally organized as a town in October 1888, but had been settled for some time prior. The town was the site of a post office founded in 1872, a prison founded in 1877, and a courthouse established in 1884. Railway service was established in 1902.[2]


The current city was administratively founded on April 1, 1927, and absorbed the town of Yodoe (from Saihaku District) on March 31, 2005.[2]



Economy


Over 70% of the Yonago workforce is employed in the service sector.[2]


Oji Paper has a production facility in Yonago.[3] The city is also home to Sharp Yonago, which produces Sharp-brand flat screen televisions.[4]
