History
The area of Taiki has been settled since the Jomon period. During the Edo period, gold dust was discovered, with gold panning operations starting around 1635 and settlements established by miners. Inō Tadataka surveyed the surrounding area in 1800, and Matsuura Takeshirō led an exploratory expedition in 1858. Farming settlers arrived from 1883 and the village of Taiki was established in 1923. In 1936, Emperor Hirohito toured the village and visited the Hokkaido Colonization Training Center. Taiki was raised to town status on April 1, 1951.
