History
Uozu Station opened on 16 November 1908 as the terminus of the Hokuriku Main Line's extension from Toyama, and a coastal freight branch built to ferry construction materials began operating on the same day before being lifted in the spring of 1914. The section through Uozu was electrified at AC in 1965, and limited-express Hokuetsu trains first called there in 1970. JR West and JR Freight took over the station at privatisation on 1 April 1987. When the Hokuriku Shinkansen reached Kanazawa on 14 March 2015, the parallel section of the Hokuriku Main Line was transferred to the third-sector Ainokaze Toyama Railway, and Uozu lost all limited-express service, with ridership falling sharply thereafter.
Notes
Since October 2008 the station concourse has displayed specimens of a buried forest.
