==History==
Shiraoi like the rest of Hokkaido was populated by the Ainu. According to the town's official website, the name, Shiraoi, means ''Rainbows are frequent here'' in the Ainu language.〔 Other sources state that the name comes from ''Shiraunai'' meaning ''Horse-flies are common here''.〔, , pg 65.〕
In 1867 the Sendai domain established a fort in Shiraoi and work began on . The following year the Boshin War caused Sendai to retreat from Shiraoi and return to Sendai proper. After the revolt was put down the government dismantled the fort in 1870.
The end of the 19th century saw expansion of the town. A road was established connecting Shiraoi with Muroran, Sapporo, and Hakodate in 1873. Nineteen years later the first railroad station was established. The villages of Shadai and Shikiu were established. Two significant events occurred during this expansion: in 1874 Mount Tarumae eruped and in 1881 the Emperor Meiji visited.
