Demographics
Per Japanese census data, the population of Tajimi peaked around the year 2000 and has declined since.
History
The area around Tajimi was part of traditional Mino Province. During the Edo period, much of the area was tenryō territory under the direct control of Tokugawa shogunate. In the post-Meiji restoration cadastral reforms, Toki District in Gifu Prefecture was created, and the town of Tajimi was established on July 1, 1889, by the creation of the modern municipalities system. Tajimi annexed the town of Toyota from neighbouring Kani District in 1934, and was raised to city status on August 1, 1940.
Tajimi subsequently annexed the villages of Koizimi and Ikeda from Kani District in 1944, and the villages of Ichinokura and Kasahara from Toki District in 1951. On January 23, 2006, the town of Kasahara (from Toki District) was merged into Tajimi.
Government

Tajimi has a mayor-council form of government with a directly elected mayor and a unicameral city legislature of 24 members.
Economy
Tajimi is traditionally known for ceramics, mostly ceramic tiles and tableware, although due to increasing competitive pressures, especially from imported sources, only a few producers remain within the city limits, and economic activity in ceramics is increasingly orientated towards trade and wholesaling.
Education
Tajimi has 13 public elementary schools and eight public middle schools operated by the city government and one private combined middle/high school. The city has three public high schools operated by the Gifu Prefectural Board of Education. The Nagoya Institute of Technology has a campus in Tajimi.
