Edogawabashi Station opened on 30 October 1974 on the Teito Rapid Transit Authority's Yūrakuchō Line, at Sekiguchi 1-chōme in Bunkyō Ward. Site constraints — the Kanda River, a river-diversion channel planned beneath the road, and the piers of the Shuto Expressway No. 5 Ikebukuro Line — forced the platforms onto an S-shaped curve, and because sightlines there are poor two station staff (three at peak times) still stand watch at the middle of the platform. The station passed from the TRTA to Tokyo Metro at the 1 April 2004 privatisation. PASMO became usable on 18 March 2007, and platform-edge doors entered service on 13 August 2011, the same day Switch-produced departure jingles composed by Hiroshi Shiozuka (Track 1) and Naoya Fukushima (Track 2) were introduced.

The station's name comes from the Mejiro-dōri bridge over the Kanda River, whose middle reach of about 2.1 km was formerly called the Edogawa and was once famed for its cherry trees and fireflies; the river's official name was unified as the Kanda in August 1970 and the riverside place names containing Edogawa had all gone by July 1966, so the station, the bridge, and a few parks and schools are now among the few places preserving the old name.
