==History==
Echigo was established by the division of in the end of 7th century with Iwafune and Nutari District. It occupied the northeast part of Niigata Prefecture today and was one of two border provinces with Emishi (the other is Mutsu). Echigo was given four districts of Kubiki, Koshi, Uonuma and Kanbara in 702. When Japan extended the territory a little northward in 708, Dewa District was established under Echigo. But this district transformed to Dewa Province in 712. Temporarily Sado Province had been merged between 743 and 752. Since the division of Sado in 752, the territory of Echigo had never been changed.
Echigo was ruled by Uesugi Kenshin and his heirs during the Sengoku Period; later it became a fief of Ieyasu's Matsudaira relatives.
