History
The area around Sakahogi was part of traditional Mino Province. During the Edo period, it part of Kamo District, and was tenryō directly controlled by the Tokugawa shogunate. During the post-Meiji restoration cadastral reforms, the area was organised into Kamo District, Gifu Prefecture. The village of Sakahogi was formed on April 1, 1897, with the establishment of the modern municipalities system by the merger of the hamlets of Sakakura, Torikumi, Ōhari, Kuroiwa, Fukagaya, Katsuyama and Fukada. In 1950 the Fukada part of Sakahogi was merged into the town of Ōta, now a part of Minokamo. Sakahogi was raised to town status on October 1, 1968
