Snaresbrook was so named in 1599 and takes its name from a nearby natural landmark. The name is derived from the Old English shear, 'swift' and brook - 'the swift flowing brook'.
The station was built as SNARESBROOK & WANSTEAD by the Eastern Counties Railway and opened on 22 August 1856. First used by Underground trains and re-named SNARESBROOK on 14 December 1947.
