Uchinada's History and Development
Remains of earthenware pots found in the sand dunes of Uchinada reveal the existence of humans living in the area since the Jomon period. The area continued to be settled since the Middle Ages, but the name "Uchinada" did not appear in history books until 1952, with the occurrence of the United States Military Firing Ground Condemnation Conflict. The condemnation and opposition movement associated with this conflict were referred to as "The Uchinada Battle," which continued until the complete withdrawal of the United States military in the area in 1957. Stagnation in the fishing industry, a major source of life support for the townspeople, led to the redevelopment of an agricultural promotion policy and the execution of the Kahoku Lagoon Land Reclamation Project. Uchinada was officially established as a town in 1962, and with the ensuing changes to its industrial structure, the town has continued to be vitalized by its domestic industrial fiber industry, and the development of residential areas.
The Medical School of Kanazawa is located in Uchinada.
