The road was originally developed in 1606 to transport lime from Ome during the land reclamation efforts in Edo during the Tokugawa era and was known by different names in different eras and regions over the course of time, as "Ogawa-michi" and "Hakonegasaki-michi" in Edo, "Afume-michi" or "Mitake-michi" in Ome, and "Haraedo-michi" in Hakonegasaki. It was identified as 'Ōme Kaidō' on a survey map created in 1880 and formally designated as such in 1962.[2]

The Ōme Kaidō overbridge in Shinjuku currently serves as the eastern terminus of the Ōme Kaidō, approximately 560 m (1,840 ft) northwest of the historical starting point at the intersection of Meiji-dōri and Shinjuku-dōri.
It is frequently featured in popular culture as the unofficial western gate to Kabukichō, most recently featured in the opening titles of Midnight Diner on Netflix.
