History edit

The area of the modern town of Misaki was within ancient Izumi Province and has many Kofun period burial mounds. During the Edo Period, the area was an exclave of Tsuchiura Domain of Hitachi Province. The villages of Tannowa, Kyōshi, Fuke and Tanagawa were established within Hine District with the creation of the modern municipalities system on April 1, 1889. On April 1, 1896, the area became part of Sennan District, Osaka. The Nankai Railway connected Fuke to Nanba in Osaka from March 21, 1903. Fuke was elevated to town status on February 11, 1943, followed by Tanagawa on March 10, 1943. On April 1, 1955, Fuke, Tanagawa, Tannowa and Kyōshi were merged to form the town of Misaki. Misaki entered into discussions to merge with either Sennan and Hannan, or with Sennan, Hannan, Izumisano and Tajiri to form the city of "Sennanshu" (南泉州市) from 2001 to 2004; however, per a public referendum, only Misaki was in favor of the merger and plans for a merger were abandoned.
