The main campus is located in Aramaki-machi, Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture.

Kiryu Technical College was founded in 1915 as Kiryu Higher Dyeing and Weaving Vocational School (桐生高等染織学校, Kiryū kōtō senshoku gakkō), a men's college (age 17-20 or above).

The college was located in the town of Kiryu, whose main industry was textile manufacturing.

In 1944 the college was renamed, in Japanese, Kiryū kōgyō semmon gakkō (桐生工業専門学校).

The training center was renamed Chohatsu School (暢発学校) and removed to Honjo, and then to Kumagaya.

In 1943 the two prefectural normal schools (boys' and girls') were merged into Gunma Normal School, a national college: the men's department was located in Hiyoshi-cho, Maebashi and the women's department was in Wakamiya-cho, Maebashi.
