History
Hekinan Station opened on 5 February 1914 as Ōhama-minato Station, the terminus of a line built by the Mikawa Railroad. A short freight spur to Ōhamaguchi Station ran from 1915 until it was discontinued in 1946. The line was extended south from 1926 toward Kira-Yoshida, making the station a through stop. The Mikawa Railroad merged into Nagoya Railroad in June 1941, and the station was renamed Hekinan on 1 April 1954. The Hekinan–Kira-Yoshida section was discontinued on 1 April 2004, returning the station to terminus status. The station has been unattended since 2005, and a third-generation station building was completed in March 2019.
Notes
The Hekinan Rail Park was laid out near the site of the former Ōhamaguchi freight spur, which closed in 1946, though it does not retrace the spur's alignment: the spur branched off to the west of the main line, while the park's Ōhamaguchi Plaza extends to the east. On 29 March 2021 the park was extended to reach Hekinan Station itself.
