After Hidemune Date, the eldest son of Masamune Date, a prominent lord in northern Japan, took over Uwa in 1614, the clan strongly promoted Uwajima Castle as a centre of industry, education, and culture.

In 1917, Maruho village was merged with Uwajima, and Yahata Village was annexed in 1921 - it thus became a unified city.
