History

Nagao opened on 30 April 1912 with the inauguration of the Takamatsu Electric Tramway. It became a Takamatsu-Kotohira Electric Railroad (Kotoden) Nagao Line station through the 1 November 1943 wartime merger. The present station building dates from a 26 April 1986 rebuild. A park-and-ride car park was opened on 1 July 2007, and outdoor security cameras came into service in March 2013.

Notes

Local communities lobbied hard for the future Nagao Line station: Nagao Higashi-machi wanted it near the Kikaku sake brewery, by the crossing with the Shido–Yamakawa prefectural road, while Nagao Nishi-machi wanted it next to Nagao-ji Temple. The Takamatsu Electric Tramway settled the dispute by announcing, without warning, that the station would be built at neither of the proposed sites, and the station accordingly stands well to the west within the Nagao district. One account attributes the line's gentle curve to a plan to extend it eastward while skirting Nagao-ji, toward Shirotori-honchō; the operator did obtain the extension licence in 1912 and reportedly bought land as far as the prefectural-road junction, but the licence lapsed in 1916 and the extension was never built.
