History

Moriyama-Jieitai-Mae Station opened on 2 April 1905 as Rentai-Mae Station on the Seto Automatic Railway (later the Seto Electric Railway), named for the nearby IJA 33rd Infantry Regiment barracks. The Seto Electric Railway was absorbed into Meitetsu on 1 September 1939, and on 10 February 1941 the station was renamed Nijikkenya Station for wartime security reasons. Postwar it was renamed again to Moriyama-machi Station on 1 June 1946, to Moriyama-shi Station on 1 February 1955, and finally to its present name on 15 March 1966, following Moriyama City's 1963 merger into Nagoya. A new station building entered service on 24 March 1983, the station became unattended on 3 August 2006, and Manaca IC ticketing started on 11 February 2011.

Notes

The station has been renamed four times: it opened as Rentai-Mae in 1905, became Nijikkenya in 1941 (to obscure the nearby army base), Moriyama-machi in 1946, Moriyama-shi in 1955, and finally Moriyama-Jieitai-Mae in 1966, once Moriyama had merged into Nagoya.
