The area of present-day Shinshiro was part of the territories of the Okudaira clan, the predecessors of the Matsudaira clan and Tokugawa clan during the Sengoku period.

Their stronghold, Nagashino Castle in what is now the northern part of Shinshiro, was the site of the Battle of Nagashino, between the forces of Oda Nobunaga and the Takeda clan.

Noda Castle, at which Takeda Shingen was wounded at the Siege of Noda was also located within the borders of Shinshiro.

During the Edo period, most of the area was tenryō territory ruled directly by the Tokugawa shogunate through {{Lang|ja-latn|hatamoto}} administrators.

After the start of the Meiji period, Shinshiro Town in Minamishitara District, Aichi Prefecture was proclaimed on 1 October 1889 with the establishment of the modern municipalities system.

The area of the town expanded through annexation of neighboring villages in 1955 and 1956.

The city of Shinshiro was proclaimed on 1 November 1958.

On 1 October 2005, the town of Hōrai, and the village of Tsukude (both from Minamishitara District) were merged into Shinshiro.

The city of Shinshiro now covers all of former Minamishitara District.
