History
Brickwork formerly used in a railway viaduct over the Old Arakawa River between Koshigaya and Kita-Koshigaya stations from 1899 until 1994. The brickwork was installed in the station as a monument in December 1995.
Koshigaya Station opened on 17 April 1920, with the name originally written as "越ヶ谷駅".[2] The kanji characters for the station name were changed to "越谷駅" (with the pronunciation unchanged) on 1 December 1956.[2] The station was rebuilt with elevated platforms in 1997.[2]
From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on all Tōbu lines, with Koshigaya Station becoming "TS-21".[3]
