History
Gōbara Station opened on 20 April 1946 on the Agatsuma Line in what is now Higashiagatsuma, Gunma Prefecture, 26.3 km from the line's terminus at Shibukawa. Freight service ended on 1 January 1960 and the station was placed under outside-contracted management in February 1962 before being unstaffed on 1 February 1971. In February 1985 a surplus freight wagon was converted into a waiting room as part of a Takasaki Division decommissioning programme. The station passed to JR East at privatisation on 1 April 1987 and was absorbed into JR East's Tokyo near-suburban zone on 1 October 2014.
Notes
The archaeological survey carried out for the station's construction turned up a "heart-shaped" dogū clay figurine, since designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan.
