Chikuzen-Ueki Station opened as 'Ueki' on 20 December 1893, added to the Wakamatsu–Nōgata line that the privately run Chikuhō Kōgyō Railway had inaugurated in August 1891. On 1 October 1897 the railway merged with Kyushu Railway and the station was renamed Chikuzen-Ueki on the same day to disambiguate from Kyushu Railway's existing Ueki Station — the first instance of an old province name being prefixed for this purpose. The Kyushu Railway was nationalised in 1907 and the station joined the Chikuhō Main Line on 12 October 1909. JR Kyushu inherited it at the 1987 JNR privatisation, and on 4 March 2017 it became a remotely managed Smart Support Station.

Renaming this station in 1897 was the very first case in Japanese railway history of prefixing an old province name to a station to disambiguate it from another station of the same base name.
