Arima Yoritsudo, the third son of the founder of the domain, Arima Toyouji, was allowed to found his own branch of the clan, and served as a hatamoto to Shōgun Tokugawa Hidetada and to his son, Tokugawa Tadanaga, with revenues of 10,000 koku, although he was not formally styled as a daimyō.
In 1726, shōgun Tokugawa Yoshinobu raised Arima Ujinori to the status of daimyō of Ise-Saijō Domain (10,000 koku).
The domain attacked Ashikaga Domain in its support of the suppression of the Mito rebellion in 1864, but quickly sided with the pro-imperial cause in the Boshin war of the Meiji restoration and fielded troops in suppression of the Ōuetsu Reppan Dōmei in 1868.
In March 1869, a group of nine samurai of the domain stormed its Edo residence, and assassinated the Karō, who had been discovered to have embezzled funds provided by the government for the assistance of the families of the domain’s samurai who had fallen in battle.
After the abolition of the han system in July 1871, Fukiage Domain became part of Tochigi Prefecture.
