History
Shin-Uozu Station opened on 1936-08-21 when the Toyama Electric Railway extended its line northward from Dentetsu-Uozu and built a new stop adjacent to the JNR Uozu Station; at that time it shared the name "Uozu Station." A further extension to Saimikkaichi (today's Dentetsu-Kurobe) on 1936-10-01 turned it into an intermediate stop, and a corporate merger on 1943-01-01 placed it on the Toyama Chiho Railway Main Line. After a new east-west underground passage replaced the footbridge that had linked the two adjoining stations on 1995-04-01, the Toyama Chiho station was physically separated from the JR side and renamed Shin-Uozu (Toyama Chiho Railway station number T24).
