Kii-Sano Station opened on the Shingu Railway as Sanomura Stop (佐野村停留場) on 1 March 1913, was upgraded to a full station and passing place six weeks later on 17 April 1913. The Shingu Railway was nationalised on 1 July 1934, at which point the station was renamed Akitsuno (秋津野駅). It was renamed again to Kii-Sano on 1 April 1942. From August 1945 a private siding served the Tomoegawa Paper Mill. The station was destaffed for passengers in November 1986; with the 1 April 1987 privatisation of JNR it passed to JR West and JR Freight. The paper mill closed in 1995 and freight setting was abolished in March 1996. ICOCA acceptance began on 13 March 2021.

The site of the Tomoegawa Paper Mill spur line is now a sprawling shopping centre — Super Center Ōkuwa Nanki — built where freight trains were still being loaded as recently as the mid-1990s.
