Though originally ruled by the [[Hosokawa clan]], Kokura was given to the Ogasawara in [[1632]] as part of efforts by the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] to place more ''fudai [[daimyo|daimyô]]'' in Kyushu, and to thus defend against potential uprising by Kyushu ''daimyô'' like the [[Shimazu clan]].

Sometime in [[1867]], the domain came to be referred to as Kawara han 香春藩, after the town of Kawara where a number of government offices were moved on 1867/9/13 following the fall of Kokura castle a month earlier (on 1867/8/1) in the [[Second Choshu Expedition|Second Chôshû Expedition]].<ref>Ishin Shiryô Kôyô 維新史料綱要, vol 6 (1937), 560, 620.</ref>
