==History==
==History==
The area of the modern city of Fujiidera was within ancient [[Kawachi Province]] and was the location of the [[kokufu|provincial capital]] of that province. The area was settled by immigrants from the Korean kingdom of [[Baekje]], led by the [[Kudara no Konikishi clan]], exiled descendants of the Baekje royal family during the late [[Asuka Period]]. Centuries later, it was the site of the [[Battle of Dōmyōji]], during the 1615 [[Siege of Osaka]]. The village of Nagano was established within Tannan District and the villages of Koyama, Domyoji and Sawada within Shiki District with the creation of the modern municipalities system on April 1, 1889. Dōmyōji and Sawada subsequently merged on March 31, 1890. On April 1, 1896 the area became part of [[Minamikawachi District, Osaka]] and Nagano was renamed Fujiidera village the same year. Fujiidera annexed Koyama in 1915 and was promoted to town status on October 1, 1928. Dōmyōji was promoted to town status on January 1, 1951. On April 20, 1959, the towns of Fujiidera and Dōmyōji merged to become the town of Fujiidera-Dōmyōji. The town was renamed ''Misasagi'' on January 1, 1960. Misasagi was promoted to city status on November 1, 1966.
In 1959 the townships of ''Fujiidera-cho'' and ''Domyoji-cho'' merged to create ''Fujiidera-Domyoji-cho''. A year later, the town was renamed ''Misasagi-cho''. The present day city of ''Fujiidera-shi'' was created November 1, 1966.


[[Fujiidera Stadium]], a baseball stadium built in 1928 and last owned by the [[Kintetsu Buffaloes]], was previously located in Fujiidera. The team used the stadium until 1996, before relocating to the newly built [[Osaka Dome]] for the 1997 season. Fujiidera Stadium was closed in 2005 and the site redeveloped.
