The name Nishiarai-honcho was given when the residential address system was implemented in 1969: since "Nishiarai" already existed north of Kan-nana, the south side was named "Nishiarai-honcho". Before that, this area was Nishiarai Village during the Edo period, land belonging to the shogunate's tenryo domain and Sojiji Temple; it became Nishiarai Town in 1928, and was merged into Tokyo City as part of Adachi in 1932.
The same Kan-nana also changed the Daishi Line. When Kan-nana was widened in 1968, the Daishi Line gave up land, shortening its operating distance by 100 meters, and Daishimae Station moved to its current location. After being elevated in 1991, the Daishi Line became the only Tobu line with no railway crossings along its entire length.
