Along with [[Fukui han]], also ruled by the Echizen Matsudaira, Matsue was one of two ''shinpan'' domains of ''[[kunimochi]]'' status.<ref>[[Mark Ravina]], ''Land and Lordship in Early Modern Japan'', Stanford University Press (1999), 19.</ref>

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.
