History
Anjō Station opened on 16 June 1891 with the government railway's extension between Okazaki and Kariya, after lobbying begun in 1888 by Anjō village under its headman Inagaki Hanpei; the railway bureau narrowed its candidates to Anjō and nearby Kagurayama and settled on Anjō because Kagurayama lay too close to Kariya Station. The original timber depot served until a rebuild in 1947, while a freight-only spur from the privately held Hekikai Electric Railway connected the station with Minami-Anjō from 25 December 1939 and ran passengers from 21 March 1951 until closure on 30 July 1961. A reinforced-concrete three-storey building with pedestrian deck opened in August 1982, JNR freight handling ended in October 1980, and the station passed to JR Central at privatisation on 1 April 1987. Automatic ticket gates were installed in June 1992, and TOICA IC cards became usable on 25 November 2006.
