Higashi-Matsuyama Station opened on 1 October 1923 as Bushū Matsuyama Station when the Tōbu Tōjō Line was extended from Sakado-machi. The "Bushū" prefix avoided confusion with Iyo Railway's Matsuyama Station in Ehime. The stop was renamed Higashi-Matsuyama Station on 1 October 1954, when the surrounding town became the city of Higashimatsuyama. Double-tracking through to Higashi-Matsuyama in 1968 prompted a track rearrangement, from two platforms and three tracks to two platforms and four tracks, together with a new footbridge, and the current overhead station building was finished in 1973. In October 1977 a further extension of the double-tracking shifted all terminating services to Shinrin-kōen, after which the unneeded outer tracks were removed and the station was left with two side platforms serving two tracks. Station numbering TJ-29 came on 17 March 2012.

From 2008 to 2010 the station building was refurbished with new lifts and a multi-purpose toilet, and its eastern facade was rebricked to echo the city's sister-city ties with Nijmegen in the Netherlands.
