History

The city was the castle town of Kameyama Castle, which belonged to the Ise-Kameyama Domain. In the early 1600s, it also hosted Kameyama-juku, the forty-sixth post station of Tōkaidō. Because it merged with the former town of Seki on January 11, 2005, the former Seki-juku also falls within its borders.

Candles are a traditional product of the city. Sharp Corporation has been operating one of the world's largest LCD factories in the city since January 8, 2004. It is easy to transport products to Osaka and other cities overland.
