==History==
[[File:Wiki jizo pano.jpg|left|thumb|[[Maruyamachō, Shibuya|Maruyamachō]] was the commercial center of the area in the Edo period.]]
Shibuya came into the possession of the Shibuya clan in the early 1160s, after which the area was named. The clan was a cadet branch of the Taira clan descended from [[Taira no Yoshifumi]]. The clan built a fortress near the present-day Konnō Hachimangu Shrine. The branch of the clan that ruled this area was defeated by the [[Later Hōjō clan]] on January 13, 1524, during the [[Sengoku period]], and the area then came under their control.<ref name=":8" /> During the [[Edo period]], Shibuya, particularly [[Maruyamachō, Shibuya|Maruyamachō]] on [[Dōgenzaka]], prospered as a town on Oyama Road (present-day [[Japan National Route 246|Route 246]]), and in the [[Meiji era]], as a [[Hanamachi]].

The [[List of villages in Japan|village]] of Shibuya was incorporated in 1889 by the merger of the villages of Kami-Shibuya, Naka-Shibuya and Shimo-Shibuya within [[Minamitoshima District, Tokyo|Minami-Toshima County]] (Toyotama County from 1896). The village covered the territory of modern-day Shibuya Station area as well as the [[Hiroo, Shibuya, Tokyo|Hiroo]], [[Daikanyama]], [[Aoyama, Tokyo|Aoyama]], and [[Ebisu, Shibuya|Ebisu]] areas. Shibuya became a [[List of towns in Japan|town]] in 1909. The town of Shibuya merged with the neighboring towns of Sendagaya (which included the modern [[Sendagaya|Senda]], [[Harajuku]] and [[Jingumae]] areas) and [[Yoyohata]] (which included the modern [[Yoyogi]] and [[Hatagaya|Hata]] areas) to form Shibuya-ku [[Wards of Japan|suburban ward]] upon being absorbed into [[Tokyo City]] in 1932. Shibuya became an urban special ward under the [[Local Autonomy Act]] in 1947.

The [[Tokyu Toyoko Line]] opened in 1932, making Shibuya a key terminal between Tokyo and [[Yokohama]], and was joined by the forerunner of the [[Keio Inokashira Line]] in 1933 and the forerunner of the [[Tokyo Metro Ginza Line]] in 1938. The story of [[Hachikō]], a dog who waited for his deceased master at Shibuya Station every day from 1923 to 1935, created a national sensation due to his unwavering loyalty. A [[statue of Hachikō]] was built adjacent to the station, and the surrounding Hachikō Square is now one of the most popular meeting points in the area.
[[File:View of Shibuya circa 1960.jpg|left|thumb|Aerial photo of Shibuya Station, {{Circa|1960}}]]
During the [[occupation of Japan]], [[Yoyogi Park]] was used as a housing compound for U.S. personnel known as "Washington Heights". The U.S. military left in 1964, and much of the park was repurposed as venues for the [[1964 Summer Olympics]]. The ward itself served as part of the [[Athletics at the 1964 Summer Olympics|athletics]] 50&nbsp;km walk and marathon course during the 1964 games.<ref>[http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/1964/or1964v2pt1.pdf 1964 Summer Olympics official report.] Volume 2. Part 1. p. 74.</ref>

In the mid-1990s, [[Shibuya-kei]], a [[microgenre]] of pop music, became mainstream in Japan. Distinguished by a "cut-and-paste" approach, it peaked in the late 1990s and declined after its principal players began moving onto other music styles.

[[Shibuya Stream]], a skyscraper and retail complex, was completed in 2018. The East Wing of a mixed-use skyscraper, [[Shibuya Scramble Square]], was completed in August 2019. A shopping mall, Shibuya Fukuras, was completed in October 2019.

[[Miyashita Park]] closed in 2017 and reopened in July 2020 as a shopping complex with a rooftop park.
