Tokiwa Village was founded on April 1, 1889. It was elevated to town status on April 1, 1937. It merged with neighboring Tonogidate Village on May 3, 1954 and annexed a portion of Inakadate Village on June 10, 1956.

On January 1, 2006, Tokiwa was merged into the neighboring and expanding town of Fujisaki, and thus no longer exists as an independent municipality.
