History
Funabashikeibajō Station opened on 21 August 1927 as Hanawa, the junction for Keisei's Yatsu branch. The Yatsu branch was abandoned in June 1934, and the station was renamed Keisei-Hanawa in November 1931 and Funabashi-Keibajō-mae in July 1950 after the adjacent racecourse. Following the 1955 opening of the Funabashi Health Centre, it became Center-Keibajō-mae in December 1963 until the centre closed in 1977. In December 1974 the platforms were shifted roughly 150 metres east and rebuilt as an elevated, bridge-style station; a passing track added in 1978 produced today's two-island, four-track layout. The current name was adopted on 1 April 1987, and station numbering KS24 followed in July 2010.
