Hyūga-Sumiyoshi Station was opened on 15 December 1913 as Jirogabyū Station by the Miyazaki Prefectural Railway on a line running north from Miyazaki to Hirose (now closed). The line was nationalised on 21 September 1917 and absorbed into the Tsuma Light Rail Line. As the prefectural railway's track was extended northward to Takanabe, the connected stretch was redesignated the Miyazaki Main Line on 11 September 1920, and then incorporated into the Nippō Main Line on 15 December 1923. Jirogabyū was renamed Hyūga-Sumiyoshi on 1 October 1935 — drawing on the nearby Sumiyoshi shrine and prefixed with the old province name Hyūga to avoid conflict with existing Sumiyoshi stations. Freight ended in 1962, baggage handling in 1984, and JR Kyushu inherited the station at the 1 April 1987 privatisation.

The 1935 renaming to Hyūga-Sumiyoshi added the old province name 'Hyūga' to disambiguate from existing Sumiyoshi stations in Hyōgo and Kumamoto Prefectures.
