Accessed November 5, 2007.] In 1651, though, it merged with part of the nearby village of Yawata. In 1655, it was renamed "Shinhiratsuka-juku."

During a census in 1843, the post station was found to have a population of 2,114 people and 443 houses, which included one "honjin", 1 sub-"honjin" and 54 "hatago".
