In 1602, he awarded a portion of the former Satake lands to Tozawa Masamori, marking the start of Matsuoka Domain.

He served in a number of important posts within the administration of the Tokugawa shogunate, and was subsequently transferred to Shinjō Domain in Dewa Province in 1622.

His descendants continued to reside at Ōta until the time of the 10th daimyō, Nakayama Nobutaka, who returned the seat of the clan back to Matsuoka.

The following year, the position of daimyō was abolished, and Nakayama Nobuaki became domain governor until retiring from public life with the abolition of the han system in 1871.

His son Nobuzane would be created the first Baron Nakayama during the conversion of the old feudal titles to kazoku peerage in 1884.
