Matsuo Station opened on 25 February 1898 as a station on the private Sōbu Railway, located in what is now Matsuo-machi Gotanda, Sanmu, Chiba Prefecture. The section of line through the area had opened in June 1897, but this stop was added in the following year. The Sōbu Railway was nationalised on 1 September 1907, and the station was incorporated into the Sōbu Main Line in 1909 when the line-name system was adopted. Freight handling ended on 1 April 1971; the Sakura - Chōshi section was electrified on 26 October 1974. With the breakup of JNR on 1 April 1987 it became a JR East station; it was placed under contracted operation in 2003 and gained Suica IC card service when it was incorporated into the Tokyo metropolitan fare area on 14 March 2009. The original wooden station building dates from the station's opening: a single-storey, tile-roofed structure distinguished by its large hip-and-gable (irimoya) roof.

Although Matsuo Station has a small front-side bus loop, the south-side shuttle bus terminus is only about 50 m away in a straight line — yet the lack of any south exit means it takes about an eight-minute walk to reach it from the station building.
