In the late Edo period, the present-day Uchiwaisaichō area was a part of the Hibiya area with many daimyo's mansions and was located within the outer moat of the Edo Castle. Uchisaiwaichō, literally meaning "Inner Saiwai District," is considered to be named after its location between nihongo|Saiwaibashi Bridge|幸橋|Saiwai-bashi on the Outer Moat and nihongo|Saiwai Gate|幸御門|Saiwai Gomon.

After the Meiji Restoration, the term "Uchisaiwaichō" was introduced as a neighborhood in Tokyo.
