&lt;br /&gt;
Meguro is predominantly residential in character, but is also home to light industry, corporate head offices, the Komaba campus of [[University of Tokyo]] as well as fifteen foreign embassies and consulates. Residential neighborhoods include [[Jiyugaoka]], Kakinokizaka, and [[Nakameguro, Meguro, Tokyo|Nakameguro]]. As of May 1, 2015, the ward has an estimated [[population]] of 277,171 and a [[population density]] of 18,890 persons per km&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;. The total area is 14.67&amp;amp;nbsp;km&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meguro is also used to refer to the area around [[Meguro Station]], which is not located in Meguro ward, but in neighboring [[Shinagawa]]&#039;s [[Kamiōsaki, Shinagawa, Tokyo|Kamiōsaki]] district.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=目黒駅は目黒区じゃない!? 首都圏「住所と合ってない駅名」意外と多いワケ |url=https://trafficnews.jp/post/105843}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Higashiyama [[shell mound]] in the north of the ward contains remains from the [[Paleolithic]], [[Jōmon]], [[Yayoi]], and [[Kofun period]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The area now known as Meguro was formerly two towns, Meguro proper and Hibusuma, all parts of the former Ebara District of [[Musashi Province]]. The two were merged into a Meguro ward for [[Tokyo City]] in 1932 and since then the ward has remained with no alterations to its territory.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=市町村合併でおなじみ「役所の位置」問題 都心の目黒区でも同様のことが起きていた |url=https://urbanlife.tokyo/post/45798/ |website=Urban Life Tokyo}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The name &amp;quot;Meguro&amp;quot;, meaning &amp;quot;black eyes&amp;quot;, derives from the Meguro Fudō (Black-eyed [[Acala|Fudō-myōō]]) of [[Ryūsenji]]. The Meguro Fudō was one of five Fudō-myōō statues placed at strategic points on the outskirts of [[Edo]] in the early seventeenth century by the abbot [[Tenkai]], an advisor to [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]], to provide protection for the new capital of the Tokugawa shogunate.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Paul Waley, &#039;&#039;Tokyo: City of Stories&#039;&#039; (Tokyo: Weatherhill, 1991), 237.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Each statue had eyes of a different color. ([[Mejiro, Tokyo|Mejiro]], a district in [[Toshima, Tokyo|Toshima]] ward, is named for the white-eyed Fudō-myōō).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Geography ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Hokusai landscape with two falconers.jpg|thumb|[[Hokusai]] [[ukiyo-e]] of a view of [[Mount Fuji]] from Shimomeguro]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four other special wards surround Meguro. They are [[Shibuya, Tokyo|Shibuya]] (to the northeast), [[Setagaya, Tokyo|Setagaya]] (to the west), [[Ōta, Tokyo|Ōta]] (to the south), and [[Shinagawa, Tokyo|Shinagawa]] (to the southeast).&lt;br /&gt;
