Morisekinoshita Station opened on 18 March 2007, the day the third-sector Sendai Airport Transit company inaugurated service on the Sendai Airport Line between Natori and the new Sendai Airport terminus. The provisional working name had been "Sekinoshita Station," but the present name was settled on in August 2005, drawing on the surrounding place name and Sendai's poetic epithet "Mori no Miyako." The line was severed by the 11 March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and remained suspended for nearly seven months, reopening on 1 October 2011. The elevated platform was built ready for future twin-tracking, with a sealed-off second side reserved for later expansion.

The southern side of the platform was built with preparatory work for a second track, so the single-track station can be expanded to two tracks without rebuilding the elevated structure.
