The onset of the 1950s brought rapid growth, with coal extraction bringing the railway and many new workers to Sechibaru. When the coal ran out, the town had only its older tea industry to rely on, which lacked the economic strength to keep the trains or people coming back.On April 1, 2005, Sechibaru, along with the town of Yoshii, was merged into the expanded city of Sasebo.
