Nōgata Station opened on 30 August 1891, built by the Chikuho Kogyo Railway as the southern terminus of its initial Wakamatsu - Nōgata line. From 1899 the station was massively expanded into a coal-classification yard for the Chikuho coalfield, with thirteen sorting tracks dispatching cars to Wakamatsu, Nishi-Yahata and Kami-Tobata day and night. A new station building was completed in March 1910. Postwar energy transition shrank coal traffic, and freight handling ended on 1 February 1984. JR Kyushu took over on 1 April 1987 and electrification reached the station in 2001. The Ita Line, which originates at Nōgata, was transferred to the third-sector Heisei Chikuhō Railway on 1 October 1989.

The Heisei Chikuhō Railway portion of the station carried the unusual sponsored name "Fujimoto Kogyo studiocanada Nogata Station" from 1 April 2009 until naming-rights expiry in 2022.
