The town's name is the Japanese word for "brocade", and is used as a name for more than one town in Japan. The town can trace its origin back to the merger of three villages in 1884. Two more villages were merged with Nishiki, then known as Nishi-mura or "West village", in 1955. It formally gained its status as a town on April 1, 1965. At one time, between 1985 and 2006, Nishiki was twinned with the town of Nishiki, Yamaguchi.
