[2] The privately run Chikuhō Kōgyō Railway had opened a track from Wakamatsu to Nōgata on 30 August 1891 and, after several phases of extension, the track had reached south to Iizuka by 1893.

Kyushu Railway undertook the next phase of expansion by extending the track to Keisen, then named Nagaō Station (長尾駅), and establishing it as the new southern terminus on 12 December 1901.

On 12 October 1909, the track to Iizuka was designated the Chikuho Main Line while the track from Iizuka to Nagao was designated the Nagao Line.

With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Kyushu.
