History

The station was initially planned under the provisional name Kashida Station (柏田駅, Kashida-eki). JR West preferred Nagase, a widely known place name, for the definite station name rather than obscure Kashida, but since there is a separate Nagase Station on Kintetsu Osaka Line, the station was finally named JR Nagase.

  • August 23, 2007 – Press release by JR West of the determination of the station name as JR Nagase[1]
  • March 15, 2008 – Opening of the station[2]
