History

Morita Station opened on 20 September 1897. The station was destroyed by the 1948 Fukui earthquake, and was reopened the following year. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.

On 16 March 2024, this station was transferred to the Hapi-Line Fukui Line due to the opening of the western extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen from Kanazawa to Tsuruga.^[1]
