==History==
Takahama is part of ancient [[Wakasa Province]]. During the [[Edo period]], the area was part of the holdings of [[Obama Domain]]. Following the [[Meiji restoration]], it was organised into part of [[Ōi District, Fukui|Ōi District]] in Fukui Prefecture. With the establishment of the modern municipalities system on April 1, 1889, the village of Takahama was established. Takahama was elevated to town status on April 1, 1912. On February 11, 1955, Takahama annexed the neighbouring villages of Aonogō, Wada and Uchiura.
==Economy==
The economy of Takahama, previously dependent on [[commercial fishing]] and agriculture is now very heavily dependent on the [[nuclear power industry]]. The partial closure of the [[Takahama Nuclear Power Plant]] since the 2011 [[Fukushima Nuclear Disaster]] has adversely affected the local economy.
==Education==
Takahama has four public elementary schools and one public middle school operated by the town government. The town does not have a high school.
