History
The area around Kasamatsu was part of traditional Owari Province until the course of the Kiso River shifted in 1586, after which time it was part of Mino Province. It was an ancient settlement on the important river crossing connecting Nagoya with Gifu. During the Edo period, it was mostly tenryō territory controlled by Tokugawa shogunate through a bugyō. During the post-Meiji restoration cadastral reforms, the area was organised into Haguri District, Gifu Prefecture, which was subsequently transferred to Hashima District, Gifu. The modern town of Kasamatsu was formed on July 1, 1889. In expanded by annexing the neighbouring village of Matsueda on August 1, 1950, and the village of Shimoharugi on April 1, 1955. Plans to merge with the neighbouring city of Gifu were rejected by a referendum in June 2004.
