History
The area around Gōdo was part of traditional Mino Province, and was the location of a shōen controlled by Enryaku-ji during the Heian and Kamakura periods, 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, and the village of Gōdo was established with the creation of the modern municipalities system on April 1, 1889. Gōdo was raised to town status on August 5, 1892. The town annexed the village of Kita-Hirano on April 1, 1950, and the villages of Shimomiya and Minami-Hirano on April 1, 1954. The town borders expanded on April 1, 1960, by the annexation of the Nishizakura section of the neighboring town Ōno. In 2004, a proposed merger with the neighboring city of Ōgaki was rejected by a referendum.
