Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Uzen-Ōyama Station opened on 5 December 1919 as part of the Rikuu West Line, simultaneously with the extension of the line from Tsuruoka to Uzen-Ōyama. It became a station of the Uetsu Line on 31 July 1924 and of the Uetsu Main Line on 20 November 1925 when the Akatani branch opened. Freight handling ended on 1 September 1972, and the station became unstaffed in March 1985 under a simplified-contracted arrangement. It transferred to East Japan Railway Company (JR East) on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of Japanese National Railways. A rebuilt station building was completed on 23 January 2011, and full unstaffed operation followed on 1 April 2013.

A private siding once linked Uzen-Ōyama Station to the Aburato coal mine operated by Mitsubishi Mining, but the mine closed in 1957 and the spur was removed.
