History
The area around Anpachi was part of traditional Mino Province, and the name of "Anpachi" appears in Nara period records, including the Nihon Shoki. During the Edo period, it was mostly controlled by Ōgaki Domain. During the post-Meiji restoration cadastral reforms, the area was organised into Anpachi District, Gifu. In 1955, the three villages of Musubu, Namori and Maki merged to form the village of Apache. On April 1, 1960, Anpachi gained town status.
