History
The area of present-day Izumozaki was part of ancient Echigo Province. During the Edo period, it was tenryō territory controlled directly by the Tokugawa shogunate, and the location of the Izumozaki daikansho. The great Zen poet and calligrapher Ryōkan was born in Izumozaki in 1758. After the start of the Meiji period, the area was organised into Santō District, Niigata, and the town of Izumozaki was established on April 1, 1886, with the creation of the modern municipalities system. Om April 1, 1904, Izumozaki annexed the neighbouring town of Amaze. Izumozaki merged with the neighbouring village of Nishikoshi on June 20, 1957.
