Hirosaki-Higashikōmae Station began life as Matsumori-chō Stop (松森町停留所) on 7 September 1927, was promoted to full station status on 18 March 1929, and was renamed Minami-Hirosaki Station on 17 June the same year. Freight handling ceased on 1 July 1984 and the station became a consignment stop on 1 September 1985. On 1 April 1988 it took the name Higashi-Kōgyōkōmae Station after the nearby high school, and on 1 April 2005 it was renamed once more to its present form, Hirosaki-Higashikōmae, following a change to that school's name. The station is staffed during regular daytime business hours.

Automated in-train announcements pronounce the station's name as "Hirosaki-Higashi-kōkō-mae," inserting the extra syllable for the full word kōkō ("high school") even though the written name uses the shortened form.
