History

Nagatsuta Station was opened on September 23, 1908 as a station on the privately-held Yokohama Railway Company. The line was acquired by the Japanese government in 1910, and merged into the Japanese Government Railways system (the predecessor to the JNR) from October 1. 1917. Up until the end of World War II, access to the station was limited to military personnel due to the proximity of armaments factories and arsenals in the area. All freight operations were suspended from 1960. On April 1, 1966, the Tōkyū Den-en-toshi Line began operations to Nagatsuta. This was followed by the Kodomonokuni Line on April 1, 1967. With the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the operational control of JR East.
