In the administrative division during the early modern era, these areas were referred to as Chionin Monzen, Kenninji Monzen, Gion Mawari, Daibutsu Mawari, and so on, but parts of the flat lands were turned into towns and became a part of urban area, and referred to as 'Rakugai Machi-tsuzuki.'
これらの地区は、近世の行政区画では知恩院門前、建仁寺門前、祇園廻り、大仏廻りなどと称されたが、平地部は早くから町地化されて市街地の一部となり、「洛外町続き」と称された。
