Matsue han, based at [[Matsue castle]], ruled Shimane District in [[Izumo province]]. It was originally a ''tozama'' domain ruled by the [[Horio clan|Horio]] and [[Kyogoku clan|Kyôgoku clans]], and then became a ''shinpan'' domain when the [[Matsudaira clan (Echizen)|Echizen Matsudaira clan]] became the lords of Matsue, from the 1630s onwards.
Following the [[battle of Sekigahara]], [[Horio Tadauji]] was granted Izumo and [[Oki province]]s, with a ''[[kokudaka]]'' of 240,000 ''[[koku]]''. He and his father [[Horio Yoshiharu]] based themselves at Matsue castle beginning in [[1611]], but after their successor [[Horio Tadaharu]] died without heirs, they lost control of the domain. [[Kyogoku Tadataka|Kyôgoku Tadataka]], who simultaneously oversaw the territory associated with the [[Iwami Ginzan]] silver mine<!--石見銀山の大森代官所支配-->, then became lord of Matsue in [[1634]], but he too died without an heir. As a result, in [[1638]], [[Matsudaira Naomasa]] was reassigned from [[Matsumoto han]] in [[Shinano province]], and became lord of Matsue with a ''kokudaka'' of 186,000 ''koku''. His descendants would remain the lords of Matsue for the remainder of the [[Edo period]], until the [[abolition of the han]] in the 1870s.
Naomasa created several branch domains, giving his second son [[Matsudaira Chikayoshi]]<!--近栄--> the 30,000 ''koku'' [[Hirose han]]<!--広瀬藩-->, and his third son [[Matsudaira Takamasa]]<!--隆政--> the 10,000 ''koku'' [[Mori han]]<!--母里(もり)藩-->. Matsue specialized in producing and exporting iron, cotton, ginseng, and tallow, but by the time of the 7th Matsudaira lord, [[Matsudaira Fumai]], the domain's finances were in a tough situation. With the help of ''[[karo|karô]]'' [[Asahi Tanba]] (aka Shigeyasu), he enacted a series of reforms which revived the domain's economy.
The domain school was called the Shûdôkan (修道館).
Around the time of the Meiji Restoration, the domain had to deal with an [[Oki sodo|uprising by the islanders of the Oki Islands]]; the domain was abolished along with the rest in [[1871]], being replaced by Matsue prefecture, and then [[Shimane prefecture]].
