This district along the Horidome canal was a place for ships to land and merchants from Kamigata, Osaka came here. North of it was 境町 Sakai cho, also referring to the Kamigata region.
In the Edo period around 1644, it was simply called Osaka Cho, district where people from Osaka live.
Eventually more land was reclaimed and other merchants moved here.

Shin-Osaka Cho 新大阪町 New Osaka District.
And the old Osaka district added MOTO to its name, meaning
