The area used to be inhabited before 1608. In 1608, the Owari Domain which was developing the Tōkaidō asked residents of Chita Peninsula to move to the area, creating the village. When the village was first created, it was technically a part of Okehazama village, but it became independent in 1625. The entire village was burned by fire in 1784. In 1892, Arimatsu was elevated to town status, and also merged with Okehazama village which was annexed by Kyowa Village in 1893. References
