Minami-Urawa Station opened on 1 July 1961 as a Japanese National Railways station on the Keihin-Tōhoku Line in present-day Minami-ku, Saitama. The Musashino Line platforms were added on 1 April 1973 when passenger services on that line began. The site was selected partly because of the long distance between Warabi and Urawa stations and the construction of the Urawa Electric Train Depot (now the Saitama Train Centre) between them. JR East assumed operations at privatisation on 1 April 1987. Automated ticket gates were introduced on 30 June 1992 and Suica IC card service began on 18 November 2001. Step-free access throughout the station was completed in 2017.

On 22 July 2013, a woman who fell into the gap between a stopped train and the platform was rescued when about 40 bystanders joined station staff to physically tilt the carriage and free her — an act widely reported internationally.
