The town was formed in October 1954 via a merger of the town of Hirai and the villages of Hikami, Kamiyama, Shimotakaoka and Tanaka.[3] In September 1956 the village of Ido also merged into Miki, but subsequently in November 1959 the residents in the northern area of Ido requested their area be transferred to the town of Nagao (present-day Sanuki city).[3]
