History

Japanese Government Railways opened Shingū Signal Box on 1 June 1915. On 1 October 1920 it was upgraded to a passenger station and its name was changed to Chikuzen Shingũ Station and its location was shifted 100 metres further to the south on the line. Previously, the station building and platform spanned Higashi Ward in Fukuoka and Shingu Town, but after reconstruction in 1987, both the station building and the platform are entirely within Higashi Ward. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways, the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, JR Kyushu took over control of the station. The station was renamed Fukkōdai-mae on 15 March 2008. The name means, literally, "in front of the Fukuoka Institute of Technology".
