Mobara Station opened on 17 April 1897 as Mohara Station, on the private Bōsō Railway, in present-day Mobara, Chiba Prefecture. The Bōsō Railway was nationalised on 1 September 1907, bringing the station under the Japanese Government Railways. From 1909 to 1926, a human-powered tramway, the Chōnan–Mobara-kan Jinsha Kidō, also terminated here, linking the station to nearby Chōnan. On 1 August 1930 it became the terminus of the Nansō Railway, which was absorbed into the Sotobō Line in 1939. The station was renamed Mobara on 10 July 1935. At the JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987 it joined the JR East network. Mobara now has two elevated island platforms serving four tracks, with the station building underneath.

Between 1909 and 1926 the station also served as the terminus of the Chōnan–Mobara-kan Jinsha Kidō, a human-powered railway running to Chōnan in Chiba Prefecture.
