History
Sengendai Station opened on 15 April 1967 on Tōbu's Isesaki Line, 29.8 km from the line's Asakusa terminus and is part of the Tōbu Skytree Line section. The station's name comes from Sengen-bori, an old name for the Niigata River that runs north of the site; the surrounding place names Sengen-dai-higashi and Sengen-dai-nishi were laid out in the 1980s after the station opened. Escalators were added between platforms and concourse in stages from 1998, elevators in 2009-2013, and departure melodies in December 2010. Station numbering as TS-24 began on 17 March 2012, and from June 2020 the station joined the THライナー seat-reservation service alongside its existing limited-express stops.

Notes
A 1985 survey logged 5,019 abandoned bicycles around the station, the most of any station in Japan that year, prompting Koshigaya City's first official anti-clutter designation for Sengendai's east exit.
