Imizu is located in the Tonami plains of western Toyama Prefecture, with a coastline on he Sea of Japan to the north. Much of the area is a dispersed settlement typical of this region of Japan.
The area of present-day Imizu was part of ancient Etchū Province, and was governed during the Edo period as part of Kaga Domain.
The modern city of Imizu was established on November 1, 2005, from the merger of the city of Shinminato, the towns of Daimon, Kosugi and Ōshima, and the village of Shimo (all from Imizu District). Imizu District was dissolved as a result of this merger.
Imizu has fifteen public elementary schools and six public middle schools operated by the town government, and three public high schools operated by the Toyama Prefectural Board of Education. The prefectural also operates two vocational schools in Imizu.
