History
JR Goidō Station started operation as Goidō Signal Box, a signal box with a crossing loop to exchange trains on the single track Wakayama Line on 8 February 1940. The signal box was discontinued on 15 July 1949, but it was reopened on 27 December 1955. On 13 March 2004, the signal box was converted to a passenger station and the present station name was assigned. Goidō Station on Kintetsu Osaka Line is a separate station. This is why the new JR station was named with the prefix "JR".
