''Sawara (早良) is western part of central Fukuoka-shi. Hakata (博多) is eastern part of central Fukuoka-shi.''

On April 1 of 1889, Fukuoka-shi was founded. Then, northeastern part of the former Sawara-gun (早良郡, Sawara [[Districts of Japan|District]]) was merged into Fukuoka-shi.

On April 1 of 1972, Fukuoka-shi was designated as a [[City designated by government ordinance|government ordinance city]]. Then, Fukuoka-shi was subdivided into the five wards of [[Hakata-ku, Fukuoka|Hakata-ku]], [[Chuo-ku, Fukuoka|Chuo-ku]], [[Higashi-ku, Fukuoka|Higashi-ku]], [[Minami-ku, Fukuoka|Minami-ku]] and the former [[Nishi-ku, Fukuoka|Nishi-ku]]. The area now called Sawara-ku was central part of the former Nishi-ku.

By March 1 of 1975, the [[Towns of Japan|towns]] and the [[Villages of Japan|villages]] of the former Sawara-gun had been merged into Fukuoka-shi.

On May 10 of 1982, the former Nishi-ku was subdivided into the three wards of Sawara-ku, [[Jonan-ku, Fukuoka|Jonan-ku]] and Nishi-ku. Because the area now called Sawara-ku had been central part of the former Sawara-gun, the area was named after the former Sawara-gun.
