The Village of Taguchi, the site of the district administrative office, was elevated to town status on October 10, 1900. The village of Hongō was elevated to town status on October 1, 1921. On May 10, 1940, the villages of Inahashi and Busetsu were merged to form the town of Inabu.

On April 1, 1955, the town of Hongō merged with the neighboring villages of Midono, Shimokawa and Sono to form the town of Tōei. The village of Miwa joined the new town the following year, on July 1, 1956. An administrative reorganization later that year left the district with three towns and three villages.

The town of Inabu became part of the now-defunct Higashikamo District on October 1, 2003; which the town was later merged into the city of Toyota on April 1, 2005.
