History
Takanekōdan Station opened on 1 August 1961 on the Shin-Keisei Railway in Funabashi, Chiba, primarily to serve the newly developed Takanedai apartment estate built by the Japan Housing Corporation (now the Urban Renaissance Agency); the station name derives from that public-housing project. Station numbering was introduced on the Shin-Keisei network in February 2014, when the stop was assigned SL17. Following Keisei Electric Railway's full acquisition of Shin-Keisei, on 1 April 2025 the station passed into the Keisei Matsudo Line, and its station number was renumbered from SL17 to KS72 the same day.

Notes
The station's name comes from Takanedai-danchi, the late-1960s housing estate developed alongside the line, and is shared in spirit with Tokuriki-Kōdan-mae Station in Kitakyūshū, the only other Japanese station named after a Japan Housing Corporation project.
