History

Brickwork formerly used in a railway viaduct over the Old Arakawa River between Koshigaya and Kita-Koshigaya stations from 1899 until 1994. The brickwork was installed in the station as a monument in December 1995.

Koshigaya Station opened on 17 April 1920, with the name originally written as "越ヶ谷駅". The kanji characters for the station name were changed to "越谷駅" (with the pronunciation unchanged) on 1 December 1956. The station was rebuilt with elevated platforms in 1997.

From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on all Tōbu lines, with Koshigaya Station becoming "TS-21".
