History
Ōhara Station opened on December 13, 1899, as the terminal station of the Bōsō Railway.[1] On September 1, 1907, the Bōsō Railway was nationalized and became part of the Japanese Government Railways, which became the Japanese National Railways (JNR) after World War II.
Freight operations were discontinued from February 1, 1984.[1] The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987.[1] On March 24, 1988, the Kihara Line was split off from the JR East network to be operated by the third-sector Isumi Railway.[2]
