History
Yokoshiba Station opened on 1 June 1897[2] as a station on the Sōbu Railway for both passenger and freight operations. On 1 September 1907, the Sōbu Railway was nationalised, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railway (JGR). After World War II, the JGR became the Japanese National Railways (JNR). Scheduled freight operations were suspended from 1 July 1973. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987.
