Nishi-Maiko Station opened on 12 April 1917 as Yamada Station when the Hyogo Electric Tramway extended its line from Shioya (now Sanyo-Shioya) towards Akashi. The station was absorbed into Ujikawa Electric on 1 April 1927 and moved on 8 December 1928. When the railway department of Ujikawa Electric was spun off on 6 June 1933 the station became part of the Sanyo Electric Railway. It was renamed Maiko Station on 1 August 1935 and to its present name Nishi-Maiko in 1937. Since 25 March 1984, when the express service was discontinued, no premium trains have stopped here. The Great Hanshin earthquake of 17 January 1995 severed the Sanyo Electric Railway Main Line and the station temporarily suspended service, reopening on 27 January when trains resumed running between Kasumigaoka and Sanyo-Akashi.

The station has been renamed twice: opened as Yamada in 1917, becoming Maiko in 1935 and Nishi-Maiko in 1937 — within two decades of opening.
