History
Sekishi Station opened on 6 December 1909 on what is now the Enshū Railway Line, in present-day Chūō-ku, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture. It was inaugurated as Matsuki (松木) at the request of a local landowner who donated the site, renamed Enshū-Matsuki (遠州松木) on 1 April 1923, and given its current name on 11 June 1962 after the surrounding Sekishi village was absorbed into Hamamatsu in 1955. The station has been unstaffed since around September 1974. Today it consists of a single island platform serving two tracks, and trains pass one another there at all times except for some early-morning and late-night services.
Notes
The "Sekishi" name traces back to a 19th-century educational society — the Sekishi Kōsha — whose name was lifted into the village name in 1908 and then onto the station.
