The Origin of “結善町”
According to information from Nishinomiya Internet TV,
there may have once been a river or spring flowing around this area, and for some reason it became “unsuitable for drinking” or had some other issue.
“A place that had a flaw”
“A defective spring”
It’s thought that “Kechisen” may have changed into “Kechizen.”
However, the actual origin of Kechizen is apparently unknown.
