==History==
The area of present-day Machida was part of ancient [[Musashi Province]]. In the post-[[Meiji Restoration]] cadastral reform of July 22, 1878, the area became part of [[Minamitama District, Tokyo|Minamitama District]] in [[Kanagawa Prefecture]]. The village of Machida was created on April 1, 1889, with the establishment of modern municipalities system. Minamitama District was transferred to the administrative control of Tokyo Metropolis on April 1, 1893. Tama was elevated to town status on April 1, 1913. The town was bombed by American forces on May 24, 1945, during [[World War II]].
 
Machida expanded through annexation of the neighboring village of Minami on April 1, 1954, followed by the villages of Tsurukawa, Tadao and Sakai on February 1, 1958, to become the city of Machida. A [[United States Marine Corp|USMC]] [[Vought F-8 Crusader|RF-8A]] [[1964 Machida F-8 crash|crashed]] in a residential area Machida on April 1, 1964, killing four people. From 1973, the [[Tama New Town]] development resulted in a rapid increase in population, turning the city into a [[bedroom community]] for Tokyo and Yokohama.
