The settlements in the area of ​​today's city of Agematsu were merged on April 1, 1889 to form Komagane village. With the appointment to the city on September 1, 1922 Komagane was renamed Agematsu. It was planned to let Agematsu participate in the regional reform , from which the neighboring city of Kiso-machi emerged on November 1, 2005. However, the majority of the residents rejected participation in this regional reform on September 26, 2004 in a referendum in Agematsu, which means that Agematsu continues to exist as an independent local authority to this day.
