History
Maebara Station opened on 21 April 1955 as a Shin-Keisei Electric Railway stop in the Maebara-nishi district of Funabashi, Chiba Prefecture. Between 1961 and 1968 it was the junction for a short branch to Shin-Tsudanuma via Fujisakidai, a connection that was abandoned when through-running was rerouted. Remote monitoring from Shin-Tsudanuma began on 1 December 2007, removing on-site staff between 22:00 and 07:00 and closing the manned ticket window. Station numbering SL22 was introduced in February 2014, and on 1 April 2025 the Shin-Keisei network was absorbed into Keisei Electric Railway, making Maebara a Keisei Matsudo Line stop and changing its number to KS67.

Notes
Each of Maebara's two side platforms has its own dedicated exit rather than sharing a central concourse, an arrangement Keisei notes is unusual on the line.
