History

The predecessor Chiryū Station was opened on April 1, 1923, as Shin Chiryū Station on the privately owned Aichi Electric Railway Company, but soon merged with nearby Chiryū Station on the Mikawa Railway later that year. The Aichi Electric Railway Company was taken over by Meitetsu on August 1, 1935, becoming the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line, and the Mikawa Railway on June 1, 1941. Shin Chryū Station merged with the Chiryū Station.
A new station was completed on April 1, 1959, and named Chiryū Station, with the former Chiryū Station becoming Higashi Chiryū Station and Mikawa Chiryū Station.
