Ishikari-Numata Station opened on 23 November 1910 as Numata Station, a general station on the Imperial Railway Bureau's Rumoi Line between Fukagawa and Rumoi. It was renamed Ishikari-Numata on 25 April 1924 to distinguish it from the new Numata Station on the Jōetsu South Line in Gunma. The Sasshō North Line reached the station from Nakatoppu (later Shintotsukawa) on 10 October 1931, making it a junction; the Sasshō section was suspended as a 'non-essential line' during the Pacific War on 21 July 1944 and was fully restored on 16 November 1956. The Sasshō Line between Shintotsukawa and here closed on 19 June 1972, leaving it an intermediate station. JR Hokkaido inherited it in 1987; closure of the Rumoi Main Line beyond here on 1 April 2023 made it the terminus, and the Fukagawa–Ishikari-Numata section closed on 1 April 2026, retiring the station.

The town and station owe their name to the entrepreneur Numata Kisaburō, who in 1903 moved his land-reclamation company's office to this site and donated land for the railway right-of-way; the village was renamed Numata after him in 1922.
