History
Historically, area around Gujō was part of the former Mino Province. During the Edo period, most of the area was under the control of Gujō Domain of the Tokugawa shogunate. Post-Meiji restoration cadastral reforms, the area was organised into Gujō District, Gifu. The town of Hachiman was created on July 1, 1889, with the establishment of the modern municipalities system. The modern city of Gujō was established on March 1, 2004, from the combining the towns of Hachiman, Shirotori and Yamato, and the villages of Meihō, Minami, Takasu and Wara (all from Gujō District).
