Harinakano Station opened on 13 April 1923 when Osaka Railway opened its line between Osaka Tennoji (now Osaka Abenobashi) and Nunose. Through wartime consolidations the line passed to Kansai Express Railway in February 1943 and then, on 1 June 1944, to a merged Kintetsu, where it became part of the Minami Osaka Line. The line through the station was elevated in stages between July 1975 and February 1976. PiTaPa contactless ticketing began on 1 April 2007, and a station-wide renovation linked to the nearby Nagai Park and Botanical Garden redesign was carried out between February and July 2022.

The station name is said to derive from the Nakano family of acupuncturists: the 41st-generation head of the family worked to bring the Osaka Railway through the area, and in thanks the company named the stop nearest their Nakano acupuncture clinic Harinakano when the line opened in 1923. The name later took hold for the surrounding district and became an official place name in 1980.
