History
The station opened on December 19, 1997, when Line 12 was extended from Nerima to Shinjuku. Line 12 was renamed the Ōedo line on April 20, 2000.
The station lies on the boundary of Shinjuku and Toshima wards. Before the station opened the name was intended to be simply Minami-Nagasaki (named after the neighborhood in Toshima ward), but the name was changed to reflect its position on the boundary.
