Katahara Station was established on 24 July 1936 by Mikawa Railway as a temporary stop in Katahara Town, Hoi District, then formally opened at its current location on 2 September 1937. In August 1950 the company took over the former Gamagōri police box and converted it into the station building, and in March 1960 a platform was added on the existing north-side track, giving the station two platforms and two tracks. Freight handling ended in fiscal 1966, and limited express and express services called here until 28 January 2005. After the original station building burned down on 27 August 1987, the replacement opened on 1 September 1988 and the station became unstaffed.

The station building in use today is the second one: the first burned down in a fire on 27 August 1987, and its replacement entered service just over a year later, on 1 September 1988.
