History
The entire line opened on 12 June 1910,{{cite book |script-title=ja: 停車場変遷大辞典 国鉄・JR編 |trans-title=Station Transition Directory - JNR/JR|publisher = JTB | editor1-last = Ishino| editor1-first = Tetsu| year = 1998 |location = Japan |language = ja | volume = I|page = 96|isbn = 4-533-02980-9}} and until the opening of the Seto Ohashi Bridge in 1988, was the main railway connection to Shikoku (via the Takamatsu ferry). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the line came under the control of JR West.
From the start of the 26 March 2016 timetable revision, the line was branded the {{Nihongo|Uno Port Line|宇野みなと線|Uno-minato-sen}}.{{cite web |url= http://www.westjr.co.jp/press/article/2015/09/page_7661.html|script-title=ja: 岡山・福山エリアの主な路線に「路線記号」「ラインカラー」を導入します|trans-title=Line codes and line colours to be introduced on main lines in Okayama and Fukuyama areas|date= 17 September 2016|work= News release|publisher= West Japan Railway Company|location= Japan|language= ja|access-date= 29 March 2016}}
