The station opened on 3 November 1904 as Maizuru Station, leased on its first day to the Hankaku Railway for joint passenger and freight operations. Hankaku was nationalised in 1907 and the station was rolled into the Maizuru Line in 1912. The Miyazu Line opened from here on 12 April 1924. The station was renamed Nishi-Maizuru on 1 April 1944 following municipal expansion. It passed to JR West on 1 April 1987, and the Miyazu Line was spun off to the Kita-Kinki Tango Railway on 1 April 1990. The current elevated station building opened on 25 September 1999 and the Maizuru Line was electrified a week later, on 2 October 1999; the Miyazu Line was handed to Willer Trains on 1 April 2015.

The station was selected for the second list of 100 best stations in the Kinki region in 2001, and a watchtower of nearby Tanabe (Maizuru) Castle has been relocated to the square in front of the west exit.
