History
The area of present-day Marumori was part of ancient Mutsu Province and was part of the holdings of Sendai Domain under the Edo period Tokugawa shogunate. The village of Marumori was established on April 1, 1889, with the establishment of the post-Meiji restoration modern municipalities system. It was raised to town status on December 1, 1954, after merging with the neighboring villages of Kaneyama, Ōuchi, Ōhari, Kōya, Kosai, Tateyama and Hippo.
