History

Midoridai Station was opened on 22 February 1922 as Hama Kaigan Station(浜海岸駅, Hama-Kaigan-eki). On 1 April 1942, it changed its name to Teidai Kogakubu-mae(帝大工学部前駅, Teidai Kogakubu-mae eki), after the engineering campus of Tokyo Imperial University located nearby. After World War II, university dropped the name “Imperial”, and the station was renamed Kogakubu-mae(工学部前駅, Kogakubu-mae-eki) accordingly. It was renamed once again on 1 May 1951 to Kurosuna Station(黒砂駅, Kurosuna-eki). It assumed its present name on 1 October 1971.
