Narutō Station opened on 1 May 1897 as a Sōbu Railway station and is today a junction of the Sōbu Main Line and the Tōgane Line, which has its terminus here. The railway was nationalised on 1 September 1907, taking the station with it. On 13 August 1945, two days before the end of the Pacific War, the station was strafed by US carrier aircraft; freight cars carrying anti-aircraft guns and ammunition caught fire, and a subsequent explosion killed 15 station staff and 27 soldiers. The station passed to JR East at privatisation on 1 April 1987, and the Sōbu Rapid Line began through-service in December 1999.

A memorial to the 42 people killed in the 1945 attack on the station — 15 station staff and 27 soldiers, nine of them in their teens — was erected at the station in August 1957.
