History
Suehiro Station opened on 25 December 1915 as Kemanai Station (毛馬内駅), a freight-only stop on the privately built Akita Railway, serving Nishikigi village in Akita Prefecture; passenger service began on 5 January 1916. It was renamed Suehiro on 1 May 1920. The line was nationalised on 1 June 1934, becoming part of the JGR and later the JNR. The station has been unstaffed since 1 February 1984. Following the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 it joined JR East as a station on the Hanawa Line, 82.2 rail kilometres from the terminus at Kōma. A small simple-style shelter replaced the green-roofed station building in November 2005, and administrative oversight moved from Kazuno-Hanawa to Morioka in December 2021.
Notes
The station originally bore the name Kemanai (毛馬内) before being renamed Suehiro on 1 May 1920.
