From its opening until 1984, it was operated under the name of Eosu-dong, and from 1984 to December 15, 2006, it was operated under the name of Dongducheon. However, with the extension of Line 1 to Soyosan, the station name was changed to Dongducheon Jungang, and the name Dongducheon Station was once again used by Dongan Station, which had been called Dongducheon Station before 1984.
