History
The area of the modern town of Kamigōri was within ancient Harima Province and was the base of the Akamatsu clan during the Muromachi period. In the Edo Period, it was divided between Amagasaki Domain and tenryō territory under direct administration of the Tokugawa shogunate. Following the Meiji restoration, the village of Kamigōri was created within Akō District, Hyōgo. It was raised town status on April 1, 1913. On March 15, 1955, Kamigōri expanded by annexing the neighboring villages of Takata, Kurai, and Funasaka.
