Haneda 羽田 Haneda district "wings and fields"
Ota ward, 羽田一丁目から羽田六丁目 From the first to the sixth sub-district
Now the name is famous because of the airport, but in the Edo period, it was called
Haneda Ura 羽田浦 Hanada Inlet
and many fishermen lived there.
After Tokugawa Ieyasu came to Edo, many of these fishermen helped to bring rafts full of lumber for the many new buildings from the forests upstream at Okutama.
To help protect the fishing grounds at the coast, Ieyasu named the area
Misaiura, Misai Ura 御采浦 Osai Ura 御菜浦 （おさいうら） / 御菜八ケ浦 Osai Hakkaura, eight special inlets.
and
Haneda mura 羽田村 Haneda village became one of it.
quote
Haneda Benzaiten no Yashiro 羽田弁財天社
this was a place that commanded views second to none.
For example, visitors could gaze at the deep blue sea to the east,
watch the morning sun rise from behind the mountains of 房総 Bōsō,
and see a snow-capped Mount Fuji reflected in Tamagawa River.
The principal image of Haneda Benzaiten was a work by Kōbō Daishi (Master Kukai)
and this was also the principal image of 江ノ島の弁財天 Benzaiten in Enoshima.

鈴木弥五右衛門 Suzuki Yagoemon and one part of the village was named after him,
Haneda Suzuki cho 羽田鈴木町 Suzukicho
The name HANEDA may refere to
The form of bird's wings of the area along the river 海老取川 Ebitorigawa, which was a very fertile ground.
Or
It was originally named hanida 「埴田」（はにだ）"low lying wetland" or harida 「墾田」（はりた）.
Or
the wings of many birds had fallen into the fields.
Many people passed here to visit the famous
Kawasaki Daishi temple on the other side of the river, and the crossing was called
Haneda no watashi 羽田の渡し Haneda river crossing.
This was about 300 m downstream of the present-day 大師橋 Daishibashi bridge.

Haneda bugyō 羽田奉行 Haneda Bugyo governor
Overseers of the port of Haneda; commissioners of coastal defenses near Edo (post-1853).
Conventional interpretations have construed these Japanese titles as "commissioner", "overseer" or "governor". This office was created in 1842. This Bakufu title identifies an official responsible for administration of the port of Haneda and foreign trade in the area. The numbers of men holding the title concurrently would vary over time.
In February 1854,
Commodore Matthew C. Perry sailed unimpeded into Edo harbor and anchored his American squadron of ships off the port of Haneda.
