The area of Inagi has been settled since the [[Japanese Paleolithic]], or for over 20,000 years, based on projectile points, [[stone tool]]s and [[microliths]] found in several locations within city borders. There is evidence of several [[Jomon period]] settlements, but settlement disappeared towards the end of the Jomon period due to climate change and eruptions of Mount Fuji. The area was sparely settled in the [[Yayoi period]], with increasing settlement density in the [[Kofun period]]. A number of [[Nara period]] remains have been found, including the ruins of a [[roof tile]] kiln. During the [[Heian period]], the area became part of a ''[[shōen]]'' controlled by the Oyamada clan, and later by their cadet branch, the Inabe clan into the [[Kamakura period]], and was an area contested between competing branches of the [[Ashikaga clan]] and [[Uesugi clan]] in the [[Muromachi period|Muromachi]] and [[Sengoku period]]s. After the start of the [[Edo period]], the area was ''[[tenryō]]'' controlled directly by the [[Tokugawa shogunate]]. Inagi as a municipality was founded on April 1, 1889 as a village in what was then [[Minamitama District, Tokyo|Minamitama District]], [[Kanagawa Prefecture]], from the merger of 6 pre-[[Meiji period]] hamlets with the establishment of the modern municipalities system. The district was transferred to the administrative control of Tokyo Metropolis on April 1, 1893.
