Echigo-Sone Station opened on 25 August 1912 as Sone Station with the Echigo Railway’s Hakusan–Yoshida section, and was renamed to its present form on 20 April 1913 when the line was completed through. Nationalised on 1 October 1927 as the JNR Echigo Line, it passed to JR East at the 1987 privatisation. Freight operations ended in 1974 and the parcels handling in 1984; the current station building dates from February 1967. A “Midori no Madoguchi” staffed ticket office opened in January 1997 and closed on 28 February 2023, and the station became fully unattended on 1 April 2026. Located in Nishikan Ward, Niigata, it has two opposed side platforms serving two tracks.

The station opened simply as Sone Station in August 1912 and gained the regional prefix “Echigo” less than a year later, on 20 April 1913, when the Echigo Railway was completed through.
