The ward is named for the river of the same name nearby and is closest to the wards of [[Bunkyo]], [[Taito]], [[Sumda]], [[Kita]], and [[Adachi]]. The most recent population estimates for Arakawa, produced in April of 2008 have 197,716 people living in the ward.

-	~~Adjacent areas include Taito~~, ~~Bunkyo~~, ~~Kita~~, ~~Adachi~~, and ~~Sumida~~. ~~The Sumida River runs along~~ the ~~City's northern~~ and ~~eastern borders~~.	+	Located in the northeastern most section of Tokyo, Arakawa is long and narrow in shape, stretching from west to east and bordered on the north by the [[Sumida River]]. Before the [[Meiji period]], the Arakawa region was a more agricultural area, producing rice and other goods for Samurai and [[Daimyo]] in [[Edo]]. During that same period, starting in 1651, Arakawa was also home to the [[Tokugawa Shogunate]]’s largest execution grounds. During the Meiji period, the nearby rivers attracted factories which largely industrialized the area. Many of these factories have been removed since then and replaced by residential and commercial spaces. Arukawa was official incorporated as a ward of Tokyo in 1932.
