History
Yurigaoka Station opened on 25 March 1960 on the Odakyu Odawara Line, timed to the inauguration of the Yurigaoka No. 1 housing complex and serving as a transport anchor for the new suburb. From the outset it was a stop for all-stations, Semi-Express and Commuter Semi-Express trains. An overhead concourse and north-south free passage were completed on 6 March 1981. After the 11 December 2004 timetable revision the new Sectional Semi-Express also called here, and station number OH 22 was introduced in January 2014. The 17 March 2018 timetable change added the Commuter Semi-Express.

Notes
Local tradition explains the place name in two ways: that yamayuri lilies, Kanagawa's prefectural flower, once grew abundantly on the hills, or that around a hundred local landowners pooled their land to make the development possible.
