Nabata Station opened on 1 April 1927 on the Shigi-Ikoma Electric Railway, on what is now the Kintetsu Ikoma Line 11.2 kilometres from the Ōji terminus. The station briefly carried the name Shin-Ikoma Station between 1935 and 1937 before reverting to Nabata. The Shigi-Ikoma Electric Railway was absorbed by Kintetsu on 1 October 1964, bringing the stop into Kintetsu's Ikoma Line. The line through Nabata was double-tracked southwards to Minami-Ikoma by 31 July 1977 and northwards to Ikoma by 10 February 1994; in between, on 13 December 1992, the station was moved about 120 metres towards Ikoma and elevated. PiTaPa support began on 1 April 2007 and the station was destaffed in late 2021.

The station was established to coincide with the Shigi-Ikoma Electric Railway's entry into Ikoma Station, so its first day of business was also the day the railway itself first reached Ikoma.
