Meinohama Station opened on 15 April 1925 as the new eastern terminus of the privately owned Kitakyushu Railway. The railway was nationalised on 1 October 1937 and the station became part of the Chikuhi Line. Elevated platforms entered service on 20 October 1982. On 22 March 1983 the Chikuhi Line section between Meinohama and Hakata closed, while the Fukuoka City Subway's Line 1 (now the Airport Line) was extended from Muromi to Meinohama and mutual through-running began; the station became the eastern terminus of the Chikuhi Line and the western terminus of the subway line, and passed to the management of the Fukuoka City Transportation Bureau. The elevation and subway works were completed on 31 March 1984, and the Chikuhi Line passed to JR Kyushu at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987.

Although Meinohama is the official start of the Chikuhi Line, the kilometre post on the platform reads 12.5 km — the distance from the pre-1963 location of Hakata Station via Torikai, preserved from the line's original measurement origin.
