History
Oyamada Station opened on 25 October 1913 as the Kōda Stop (幸田停留場 Kōda Teiryūjō) on the Iwate Light Railway (岩手軽便鉄道), a 762 mm (2 ft 6 in) light railway extending 65.4 km from Hanamaki to the now-defunct Sennintōge Station (仙人峠駅).[1] It was elevated to a full passenger station and given its present name on 23 November 1915. The Iwate Light Railway was nationalized in 1936, becoming the Kamaishi Line. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987.
