History

Early modern period

“Miyoshi" as a local place name appears in documents in the Edo period.

Late modern period

Miyoshi Village was created within Nishikamo District, Aichi Prefecture on October 1, 1889, with the establishment of the modern municipalities system in the early Meiji period.

Contemporary history

Miyoshi merged with neighboring villages in 1906 to reach its present geographic borders and was raised to town status on April 1, 1958.

During 2003–2005, discussions were held to merge Miyoshi with the city of Toyota, but the merger proposal was strongly opposed by the majority of the inhabitants of Miyoshi.

As a result, the merger did not take place, and instead Miyoshi was elevated to city status on January 4, 2010.

With its change in status, Miyoshi changed the spelling of its name from kanji (三好) to hiragana (みよし)
