Kamo District (加茂郡) was one of the ancient districts ofShinano Province, but was transferred toMikawa Province during theSengoku period. In the cadastral reforms of the early Meiji period, on July 22, 1878, Kamo District was divided into Higashikamo District andNishikamo District within Aichi Prefecture. With the organization of municipalities on October 1, 1889, Higashikamo District was divided into 18 villages.
The village of Asuke was elevated to town status on December 17, 1890, and two new villages were created in 1889 and 1890. In a round of consolidation, the remaining number of villages was reduced from 19 to six in 1906.
On April 1, 1955, three of the remaining villages (Morioka, Kamo, and Aro) were annexed by the town of Asuke; however, a new village (Asahi) was created through a border adjustment with parts of the village of Sanno (formerly fromEna District,Gifu Prefecture).
On November 1, 1961, the village of Matsudaira gained town status, followed by the village of Asahi.
On April 1, 1967, the town of Matsudaira was annexed by the city of Koromo.
On October 1, 2003 - The town ofInabu was transferred fromKitashitara District to Higashikamo District, leaving the district with two towns and one village.
On April 1, 2005 - The towns ofAsuke,Asahi andInabu, and the village ofShimoyama, along with the town ofFujioka, and the village ofObara (both fromNishikamo District), were all merged into the expanded city ofToyota. Therefore, Higashikamo District was dissolved as a result of this merger.
