History
Geba Station opened on 1 August 1932 as a station on the Miyagi Electric Railway. The line was nationalised on 1 May 1944, an automatic ticket machine was installed in September 1970, and on 20 April 1976 a footbridge replaced the level crossing inside the station yard. The station was transferred to JR East at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. In March 1989 the station building was refreshed in a "Märchen"-style theme. Automatic ticket gates began operation on 30 January 2003 and Suica acceptance followed on 26 October 2003. The station was converted from a directly-staffed stop to a JR East Tohoku Sogo Service contract station on 1 April 2012.
