History

Kuroda Station opened on 26 April 1918 on the Yamato Railway when the line was extended from Shin-Oji to what is now Nishi-Tawaramoto Station. Standard-gauge conversion and electrification followed on 15 June 1948. The 1 October 1961 merger transferred it to the Shigiikoma Electric Railway, and a further merger on 1 October 1964 placed the station on Kintetsu's Tawaramoto Line, 2.0 kilometres from Shin-Oji. Staff were posted from 19 March 1992, PiTaPa acceptance began on 1 April 2007, and after nineteen years and six months the station was fully destaffed once more on 1 October 2011. A single side platform handles trains in both directions for up to three-car sets.
