Nagao Station opened on 12 April 1898 as the terminus of the Kansai Railway's extension from Shijōnawate; the line was extended to Shinkizu just weeks later. The station sits at the easternmost edge of Osaka Prefecture, about a kilometre from the Kyoto border. From the arrival of electrification in December 1950 until 11 March 1989, Nagao marked the boundary between the electrified Katamachi Line and the diesel-operated section east to Kizu — that gap closed when the remaining segment was electrified. The current overhead station building opened on 10 February 2013, and station numbering JR-H27 was introduced in March 2018.

The Tomb of Wani is one of the sights listed around the station. Nagao also has a place in ticketing history: automatic ticket gates were installed on 1 October 1979, making the Katamachi Line from Katamachi to Nagao the first stretch of Japanese National Railways in the western Japan area to have them.
