Maeda Toshiie served [[Oda Nobunaga]], fighting under Nobunaga's general [[Shibata Katsuie]] in the [[Hokuriku]], and was given land in [[Echizen province]], then in [[Noto province]].

Toshiie's son Toshinaga sided with [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] during the [[Battle of Sekigahara|Sekigahara]] campaign and received the areas of Kaga that he did not have already. Thus, during the [[Edo period]] the Maeda clan ruled the three provinces of Kaga, Noto, and Etchû, which meant that their koku-daka was over one million koku (百万石), the largest among the daimyo. When Maeda Toshitsune retired he established branch houses through two of his younger sons and created sub-fiefs for them--Daishôji 大聖寺 (70,000 koku) in Kaga and Toyama 富山 (100,000 koku) in Etchû. These fiefs continued thus until the [[Meiji Restoration]].
