Higashi-Funabashi Station opened on 1 October 1981 as a Japanese National Railways stop on the Sōbu Main Line, built on local petition and inaugurated the same day the Tokyo–Chiba quadruple-track extension and the neighbouring Makuharihongō Station entered service; it has handled passengers only from the start. The station passed to JR East at the 1987 nationwide breakup. Automatic ticket gates entered service on 10 April 1993 and Suica acceptance began on 18 November 2001. The Midori no Madoguchi staffed window closed on 20 February 2013, and on 20 November 2014 the station was placed under the JR East Station Services franchise as a contracted-out station administered by the Funabashi cluster.

Higashi-Funabashi shares its 1 October 1981 opening date with Makuharihongō, leaving the two of them the newest stations on the Sōbu Main Line.
