History
Jiroembashi Station opened on 19 March 1913 on the Tōbu Kiryū Line in Naritsuka-chō, Ōta, Gunma, 5.9 km from the line's Ōta terminus. The wooden station building remains in use, with two opposed side platforms connected by a footbridge. Station numbering (TI-52) was introduced on 17 March 2012, along with the rest of the Tōbu network. In October 2012 the station became unstaffed during early-morning and late-evening hours; passengers in those periods take a boarding certificate from a vending unit and settle the fare at the destination station.

Notes
The name commemorates a stone bridge that the local resident Amagasa Jiroemon built over the Nitta Hori irrigation canal at his own expense during the Edo period — the same Amagasa family also gives the adjacent Sanmaibashi Station its name.
