History

Kita-Matsudo Station was opened on May 1, 1952 as Matsudo Keibajōmae Station (松戸競輪場前, Matsudo Keibajōmae-eki), a temporary station on the Japanese National Railways (JNR). The station was used only on race days for the adjacent Matsudo Racetracks. It was elevated to a permanent station on December 25, 1958. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987.
