Kamo District (加茂郡) was one of the ancient districts of Shinano Province, but was transferred to Mikawa Province during the Sengoku period. In the cadastral reforms of the early Meiji period, on July 22, 1878, Kamo District was divided into Higashikamo District and Nishikamo District within Aichi Prefecture. With the organization of municipalities on October 1, 1889, Higashikamo District was divided into 18 villages.
