Katsuura Station opened on 20 June 1913, fulfilling a long-running local campaign: the Bōsō Railway had reached Ōhara in 1899, and petitions for an extension to Katsuura were submitted to both houses of the Diet in 1910. Freight service was discontinued in 1978, and the current overhead station building was completed on 1 July 1982. The station joined JR East at the 1987 privatisation, and a third platform face followed the 1995 double-tracking of the Onjuku section. Suica was enabled on 14 March 2009 when the station was added to the Tokyo Suburban Area, and the Midori-no-Madoguchi ticket office closed on 16 December 2023, replaced the next day by a video-assisted reserved-seat ticket machine.

All limited-express "Wakashio" trains call at Katsuura, and the Katsuura Big Hina Matsuri brings festival-specific extras such as the "Katsuura Hinamatsuri-gō" each spring.
