After the survey of Genroku 11 (1698), 50,000 koku of the former Fukuyama domain became shogunate land and a magistrate's office was set up in Joge. It governed 71 villages in three districts, about 40,000 koku. It later became a branch outpost of the Omori magistrate's office in Iwami and lasted to the end of the Edo period. The merchant house Kyu-Tanabe-tei is said to have been a kakeya handling public funds.
