Nagasaki is located on the south-western coast of Kyushu, the southernmost of the four mainland islands of Japan. Nagasaki lies at the head of a long bay which forms the best natural harbor on the island of Kyushu. The main commercial and residential area of the city lies on a small plain near the end of the bay. Two rivers divided by a mountain spur form the two main valleys in which the city lies. As of 2004 the population of the city is 447,419 and its size in square kilometers is 338.72. Founded before 1500, Nagasaki was originally secluded by harbors. It enjoyed little historical significance until the contact with European ex- plorers in 1542, when a Portuguese ship accidentally landed nearby. The little harbor village quickly grew into a diverse port city, and Portuguese products imported through Nagasaki such as tobacco, bread, tempura, and textiles. The Portuguese also brought with them many goods from China. Nagasaki quickly began to assume some economic dominance. Its main industry was ship-building. This industry would eventually make it a target in World War II. On 9 August 1945, Nagasaki was the target of the world's second atomic bomb attack by the US at li:02 a.m., when the north of the city was destroyed and an estimated 39,000 people were killed outright with another 75,000 believed to have died of bomb-related causes in the decades that followed. The city was rebuilt after the war, dramatically changed. New temples were built, and new churches as well. New structures were also raised as memorials, such as the Atomic Bomb Museum. Nagasaki remains the first and foremost port city, supporting a rich shipping industry and setting a strong example of perseverance and peace. 36.
