Nakoso Station opened on 25 February 1897 as a Nippon Railway stop on the line that became the Jōban Line, in what is now Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture, near the historic Nakoso Barrier site that gave the station its name at the request of local residents. The Nippon Railway was nationalised on 1 November 1906, and the route became the Jōban Line on 12 October 1909. The station passed to JR East and JR Freight at the JNR privatisation of 1 April 1987. Freight services were withdrawn on 1 October 2003, JR Freight ended in April 2006, and Suica became available on 14 March 2009. The building was renovated in March 2013 with wood-grain sheeting at the entrance and in the waiting room, evoking the old barrier gate.

The station building, whose white-walled design evokes the historic Nakoso Barrier, was selected in 2002 as one of the "100 Best Stations of Tōhoku".
