History

The area of Ebino was part of ancient Hyūga Province, and during the Edo period was completely within the borders of Satsuma Domain. In 1871, with the abolition of the han system, the area was incorporated into Kagoshima Prefecture, but was later transferred to Miyazaki Prefecture. The villages of Iino, Kakuto and Masayuki within Nishimorokata District, Miyazaki were established on May 1, 1889 with the creation of the modern municipalities system. Iino was raised to town status on April 3, 1940, followed by Masayuki on April 1, 1950 and Kakuto on February 11, 1955. The three towns merged to form the town of Ebino on November 3, 1966. The Ebino earthquake occurred on February 21, 1968, killing three inhabitants and injuring 42. Ebino was raised to city status on December 1, 1970.
