Numakuma District (Numakuma-gun)
(Japan > Hiroshima Prefecture > Numakuma District)

Numakuma (沼隈郡) was a district located in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan.

The original district areas contained some parts of the present city of Fukuyama. The district hall was placed together with Fukatsu District (later merged with Yasuna District to form Fukayasu District) at the town of Fukuyama in Fukatsu District, but in 1898, their own district hall was placed at the town of Tomo (now the town of Tomo in the city of Fukuyama).

In 1954, the town of Matsunaga and 6 villages merged and gained city status to become the city of Matsunaga (later in 1966, the city merged with the city of Fukuyama and dissolved). Afterwards, the towns and villages within the district continued on to merge either into the cities of Fukuyama and Onomichi, and the last remaining town of Numakuma merged into the city of Fukuyama on February 1, 2005, and Numakuma District dissolved.
