During the Edo period all of present Tōei was tenryō under direct control of the Tokugawa shogunate. After the Meiji Restoration, the area was organized into several villages within Kitashitara District, including Hongō, Miwa, Midono, Furikusa and Sono. In 1900, a portion of Hongō Village split off to become Shimokawa Village. Hongō was elevated to town status on October 1, 1921. On April 1, 1955 Hongō Town merged with the neighboring villages of Midono, Shimokawa and Sono to form the town of Tōei. The village of Miwa joined the new town the following year, on July 1, 1956.
The primary industry of Tōei is small-scale forestry, and agriculture.
