Kannabe Station opened on 21 July 1914 on the Ryōbi Light Railway (later Ryōbi Railway). Its Takaya branch line opened in 1922. In 1933 the Ryōbi-Fukuyama–Fuchū-machi section was nationalised as the Fukuen Line, while the Takaya branch was sold off and eventually closed by the Ikasa Railway in 1967. The station was rebuilt as the Fukuen Line's first elevated station on 15 March 1979. With JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR West, and on 11 January 1999 it became the western terminus of the new Ibara Railway Ibara Line. ICOCA service began on 1 September 2007, and the JR side was made unattended on 29 February 2020 after the Midori-no-Madoguchi closed.

Kannabe is the only intermediate station on the Fukuen Line whose daily passenger count has surpassed one thousand, the highest of any non-terminal stop on the line.
