Iyo-Hirano Station opened on 19 September 1936 when Japanese Government Railways extended the Yosan Main Line westward from Iyo-Ōzu, with the new stop serving as the temporary western terminus. The line was pushed further on to Yawatahama on 6 February 1939, making Iyo-Hirano a through-station. Freight handling ceased on 1 June 1970 and parcel service ended on 1 February 1984, and the station was destaffed on 3 March 1986. With the 1 April 1987 breakup of Japanese National Railways, JR Shikoku took over operation. Today it is an unstaffed local stop on the Yosan Line in Ōzu, Ehime, carrying station number U16.

Driven into a narrow valley ringed by mountains, the station's name "Hirano" (literally "plain") was not coined for the local landscape but stitched together from the merged villages of Hirachi and Noda.
