History

[edit]

Matsusaka Station opened on December 31, 1894 as a station on Sangu Railway Line. The line was nationalized on October 1, 1907, becoming the Sangu Line of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) on October 12, 1909. On August 17, 1912, the Mie Electric Railway began operations at Matsusaka Station. The Meishō Line began operations from August 25, 1929. On March 27, 1930, Sangu Kyuko Electric Railway Co. connected to Matsusaka Station. A new station building was completed on December 3, 1937. Sangu Kyuko was acquired by Osaka Electric Railway Co. in March 1941, and renamed Kansai Kyuko Railway Co., subsequently merging with the Nankai Railway to form Kintetsu in 1944. The station was transferred to the control of the Japan National Railways (JNR) Kisei Main Line on July 15, 1959. A new station building was completed in November 1962. Mie Electric Railway went out of business in 1964. All freight operations were discontinued in 1984. The station was absorbed into the JR Central network upon the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987.
