[edit] Naming

When the station started operating, the current Sobudai-mae Station was named Zama Station, so the station was originally named Shin-Zama Station. Later on, Odakyu planned to make an amusement park near the station, so thus it was renamed to Zama-Yūen Station. However in 1941, World War II started, and Odakyu withdrawed the plan to make the park. Since they no longer were building the park, the station was renamed to the current name.
