Musashimurayama East, founded in 1977 by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Board of Education, closed in 2004 due to the decrease of students within the area.
In 1994, Masanori Hirasawa, a teacher at the school, found an asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter (1994WQ12) and named it 7892 Musamurahigashi, after the school name.
