History
Uzen-Nagasaki Station opened on 20 July 1921 in the town of Nakayama, Yamagata Prefecture, briefly serving as the terminus of the Aterazawa Line until the line was extended to Sagae on 21 December 1921. The station passed to East Japan Railway Company on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of Japanese National Railways. In 2004, after a request from residents on the west side of the tracks, one of the platforms on the original island layout was removed and the platform configuration was effectively reduced to a single side platform, with a new west exit added at the same time. The station is staffed under a kan'i itaku contract.

Notes
After a brief 1921 stretch as the Aterazawa Line's terminus, the station became an end-of-line stop again temporarily in 2001 while Sagae Station was being relocated.
