Originally, this station was named Bawangfen East (地铁八王坟东站); however, finalized plans named the station Sihui East.
Expansion works completed April 7, 2009 saw the removal of tracks on the northernmost part of the station, thus expanding the Line 1 Pingguoyuan-bound platforms. This was needed as the Batong Line now uses 6-car instead of 4-car trains.
