History
Ichikikushikino is part of ancient Satsuma Province and was part of the holdings of Satsuma Domain in the Edo period. On April 1, 1889, the villages of Kushikino, and Nishiichiki were established with the creation of the modern municipalities system. Nishiichiki was raised to town status in 1930, becoming the town of Ichiki, followed by Kushikino in 1935. On October 1, 1950 Kushikino was raised to city status. The city of Ichikikushikino was established on October 11, 2005, from the merger of the city of Kushikino with the town of Ichiki (from Hioki District).
