Nishi-Ogikubo Station opened on 15 July 1922 as a Ministry of Railways stop on the Chūō Main Line, reportedly through a campaign led by Uchida Hidegorō, then mayor of Iogi Village. The station was elevated on 29 October 1967, and the line was quadruple-tracked on 6 April 1969. From 8 April 1969 Chūō-Sōbu local trains and through services from the TRTA Tōzai Line were extended from Ogikubo to Mitaka and began stopping here. Escalators were added to the rapid platform in 1975 and to the local platform in 1995. Suica IC service started on 18 November 2001, and Green Car compatible 12-car operations on the rapid line began on 13 October 2024 after platform extensions were completed.

Nishi-Ogikubo is the westernmost JR station within Tokyo's 23 special wards and, on the Chūō Main Line, the westernmost stop inside the "Tokyo ward area" zone of JR's special fare-zone system — the JR-served stop furthest from Tokyo Station, the base station for fare calculation, that still counts as a city-centre destination.
