History
Sōbudai-mae Station opened on 1 April 1927 as Zama Station (座間駅).[1] With the opening of the nearby Imperial Japanese Army Academy (Rikugun Shikan Gakkō), the station was renamed Shikan-gakkō-mae Station (士官学校前駅) on 1 June 1937.[1] However, as part of the counter-intelligence movement to eliminate the names of military facilities from maps, the station was renamed Sōbudai-mae Station on 1 January 1941.[2]
Station numbering was introduced in January 2014 with Sōbudai-mae being assigned station number OH30.[3][4]
