- The city was formed in 2005 through the merger of Kamifukuoka City and Ooi Town, which is why it maintains a blend of older residential layouts and newer suburban infrastructure.
- Fujimino is situated on the Musashino Terrace, a geological feature that influences its relatively flat topography and historical reliance on local water management systems.
- The city name is derived from a competition, aiming to evoke the imagery of 'beautiful Fuji' due to the regional views of Mount Fuji on clear days.
