Kita-Toda Station opened on 30 September 1985 as a Japanese National Railways station on the new commuter route that became the Saikyo Line. The original alignment had been planned east of the Sasame River with a station in Tsuji, Urawa, but local opposition pushed the line westward, placing the stop in Niizo-Ashihara, Toda. JR East took over at privatisation on 1 April 1987. Automatic fare gates began service on 24 July 1992 and Suica on 18 November 2001. From 1 August 2007 the up platform has used an arrangement of the Toda city song as a departure melody. Midori-no-Madoguchi closed on 31 October 2007, and a direct staircase from the concourse was added in April 2014.

Until the 2024 Hokuriku Shinkansen extension reached Tsuruga, Kita-Toda’s platform at 20.46 m above ground level was the highest in Japan; among conventional-line stations it still holds the record.
