Horonobe Station opened on 20 July 1925 as a general station on the Japanese Government Railways Teshio South Line. The line was incorporated into the Sōya Main Line on 1 April 1930, and the Haboro Line began branching here from 30 June 1935, making Horonobe an interchange station until the Haboro Line closed on 30 March 1987. Operation passed to Japanese National Railways in 1949 and to JR Hokkaido on 1 April 1987. The present station building was completed on 1 December 1973. From 18 April 2019 JR Hokkaido and Sagawa Express have run a joint freight-and-passenger service between Wakkanai and Horonobe.

Since 2018 part of the former Engan Bus office inside the station has operated as Horocal, a settlement-promotion centre run by Horonobe Town that sells local crafts, runs migration consultations, and issues discounted limited-express tickets for residents.
