History
Kita-Uwajima Station opened on 2 July 1941 when the line from the existing Uwajima Line (the present Yodo Line) was extended in the direction of Unomachi (the present Yosan Line), with the station marking the new junction. Cargo handling was discontinued on 1 June 1970 and parcel handling on 8 November 1971. On 25 November 1983 the station became unstaffed and was placed under simplified entrustment. With the breakup and privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station passed to JR Shikoku.

Notes
Kita-Uwajima is the line-name terminus of the Yodo Line, but in practice every Yodo Line train continues via the Yosan Line into Uwajima Station, so no trains begin or end at Kita-Uwajima itself. The station sits at an elevation of 8.8 metres.
