History

Yabe Station originated as a temporary stop for personnel working on the freight operations associated with the United States Army Sagami Fuel Depot, whose trains used the Yokohama Line tracks. The stop was upgraded to a train station on 1 October 1957 on the Japan National Railway (JNR). The station building was rebuilt in October 1979. With the privatization of the JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the operational control of JR East.

Station numbering was introduced on 20 August 2016 with Yabe being assigned station number JH26.[1][2]
