Fukudamachi Station opened on 5 June 1925 as a station of the Miyagi Electric Railway. The siting of Fukudamachi and the neighbouring Rikuzen-Takasago Station was contested between the Fukudamachi side and Fukumuro on the opposite bank of the Nanakita River. The railway initially planned to build at Fukudamachi but stalled on land-purchase prices, prompting Fukumuro to offer land at no cost; Fukudamachi residents responded by setting firecrackers on the railway bridge and confronting railway offices, and both stations finally opened together. Wartime nationalisation on 1 May 1944 placed it under the Ministry of Transport and Communications, and it passed to JR East at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. The station became a contracted-operation station under JR East Tōhoku Sōgō Service on 1 July 2011 — three months later than planned, after the Great East Japan Earthquake delayed the original April handover.

Because the present platform cannot accept lifts, in February 2020 the City of Sendai and JR East agreed to relocate the station some 200 m west, near the Miyagino sub-depot of Sendai Rolling Stock Centre, with a target opening year of 2034.
