History

Iseshi Station opened on November 11, 1897, as Yamada Station (山田駅 Yamada-eki) on the privately owned Sangū Railway. The line was nationalized on October 1, 1907, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railway (JGR) network. The Sangū Electric Express Railway (later known as the Kintetsu Yamada Line) began operations on September 21, 1930. [1] The station building was rebuilt in May 1950, and the Kitetsu portion in 1953. The station was renamed to its present name on July 15, 1959.
