Iwaki Station opened on 25 February 1897 as Taira Station (平駅). The Banetsu East Line was extended to Kōriyama from this point on 10 October 1917, making the station a junction of the Jōban Line and the inland route. JR East took over at JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987. The station was renamed Iwaki on 3 December 1994, reflecting the surrounding city's name. A new station building was completed on 25 October 2007. Following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster of March 2011, Iwaki served as the northern terminus for Jōban Line limited-express services until through-running to Sendai was restored in March 2020.
