===Feudal period===
;Azuchi–Momoyama period
[[Oda Nobunaga]] and his protégés [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] and [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] were powerful warlords based in the Nagoya area who gradually succeeded in unifying Japan. In 1610, Tokugawa Ieyasu moved the capital of [[Owari Province]] from Kiyosu, about {{convert|7|km|mi|frac=2|spell=in|abbr=off|}} away, to a more strategic location in present-day Nagoya.

In May–June 1560, the [[Battle of Okehazama]] took place in Dengakuhazama, [[Owari Province]] which was just outside of what would become Nagoya city. In this battle, [[Oda Nobunaga]] defeated [[Imagawa Yoshimoto]] and established himself as one of the leading warlords in the [[Sengoku period]].<ref>A Military History of Japan by John Kuehn p. 102</ref>
