The roots of the university can be traced back to 1902, when the Template:Nihongo was established. Its first president was Template:Nihongo. In 1929 this school was renamed Template:Nihongo,<ref name="com">Graduate School of Economics, Faculty of Economics, Kobe University</ref> and it was further renamed in 1944, Template:Nihongo.<ref name="com" />

In 1949, under Japan's new educational systems, the university was merged with Hyogo Normal School, Hyogo Junior Normal School, Kobe Technical College and Himeji High School, all of which were in Hyōgo Prefecture, leading to the creation of Kobe University.

The university has since been expanded and has created new faculties to complement its main academic foundations, which have been strongly established in the fields of economics and commerce.
