History
Nagayama Station was established on 19 October 1899 as a station on the privately held Toyokawa Railway, in what is today Toyokawa, Aichi Prefecture. It was added a year after the surrounding line opened in 1898, at the request of locals who contributed land, money and labour. The Toyokawa Railway was nationalised on 1 August 1943 to form the Iida Line. Car-load freight service ended on 20 June 1962 and parcel handling on 1 December 1971. Following the introduction of centralised traffic control, the station became unstaffed on 24 February 1984, and it passed to Central Japan Railway Company at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. A new building was completed in 2002, and TOICA began on 15 March 2025.
