History
Kita-Sendai Station opened on 29 September 1929 as a stop on the newly opened Senzan East Line between Sendai and Ayashi, on the boundary of what was then Shichigita Village. The settlement was annexed by the City of Sendai in 1931, putting the station inside the city. From 1937 the Sendai City Tramway's Kita-Sendai Line connected the area to downtown Sendai, while the Sendai Railway's terminus relocated to Kita-Sendai in exchange for the abolition of the Tōrimachi-Kita-Sendai segment. The Sendai Railway was withdrawn in stages between 1956 and 1960, and the city tramway's Kita-Sendai Line closed on 1 April 1969. JR East took over at the 1 April 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways, and the Sendai Subway Namboku Line station opened nearby on 15 July 1987.
