Ōdaka Station opened on 1 March 1886, simultaneously with the opening of the government railway between Taketoyo and Atsuta stations, and is, alongside Atsuta Station, one of the oldest stations within Nagoya city. At the time, the trunk line linking Tokyo and Osaka was planned to run via the Nakasendō route, and the station was set up as an intermediate stop on the line for transporting construction materials for that route, but soon after opening the trunk-line route was changed to run via the Tōkaidō, and the station was incorporated into the Tōkaidō Main Line. The sections between Ōbu and this station, and between this station and Atsuta, were doubled in 1907; the station was rebuilt with a building spanning the tracks in 1962, and took its present form as a station building below an elevated structure in 1978. JR Central inherited it with the division and privatization of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, and TOICA has been usable since 25 November 2006. It carries station number CA63.

Around the station remain three fortification sites connected to the Battle of Okehazama — Ōdaka Castle, Washizu Fort, and Marune Fort; the site of Washizu Fort just east of the station has been developed as a park, so historic sites and everyday station life exist side by side here.
