On the Keihan Line, the city name is usually given to a station located in the central area of a city, such as Moriguchi City Station and Hirakata City Station, but this station is the only one in which "City" isn't included in the name.
京阪線では、路線が通る市の中心部に位置する駅の名称には、守口市駅、枚方市駅のように市名があてられているが、当駅は「市」がつかない唯一の駅である。
