The area of present-day Daisen was part of ancient Dewa Province.

After the start of the Meiji period, the area became part of Senboku District, Akita Prefecture in 1878.
The modern city of Daisen was established on March 22, 2005, from the merger of the city of Ōmagari, the towns of Kamioka, Kyōwa, Nakasen, Nishisenboku, Ōta and Semboku, and the village of Nangai (all from Semboku District).
