Hämeenkoski was originally known as Koski. It was initially a part of the Lammi administrative division and the Hauho parish. Lammi became a separate parish in the beginning of the 15th century or slightly earlier. Koski was first mentioned as a separate parish in 1410, but it was merged into Lammi as a chapel community in 1540. The chapel was also known as Etola after another village in the area. Koski became a separate parish from Lammi in 1870. The name Hämeen-Koski was first suggested for the parish in 1897 by Väino Wallin to distinguish it from Koski Tl, at the time still a part of Marttila. Koski Hl was renamed Hämeenkoski in 1995. Hämeenkoski was consolidated with Hollola in 2016.

Juho Kusti Paasikivi (1870–1956), the seventh President of Finland, was born in the Huljala village located approximately 5 km southeast of the former municipal center.
