Miyoshi Village was created within Nishikamo District, Aichi Prefecture on August 8, 1881, and merged with neighboring villages in 1906 to reach its present geographic borders.On April 1, 1958, Miyoshi was raised to town status, and its population exceeded 50,000 in 2002. 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)EducationTokai Gakuen University
