During the early Meiji period cadastral reforms, the villages of Inahashi and Busetsu were established on October 1, 1889. The two villages merged to form the town of Inabu in 1940. Until September 30, 2003, the town was located within Kitashitara District, but from October 1, 2003 to March 31, 2005, the town was located within Higashikamo District.
On April 1, 2005, Inabu, along with the town of Fujioka, the village of Obara (both from Nishikamo District), the towns of Asuke and Asahi, and the village of Shimoyama (all from Higashikamo District), was merged into the expanded city of Toyota,[1][2] and has ceased to exist as an independent municipality.
