Onoda opened on 3 December 1900 on the San'yō Railway when the line was extended west from Mitajiri (today's Hōfu) toward Asa. The route was nationalised in 1906 and became the San'yō Main Line in 1909. On 25 November 1915 the Onoda Light Railway opened a connecting line to Cement Town (today's Onoda Port), making this a joint-use station. That railway was nationalised in 1943 as the Onoda Line, briefly merged into the Ube West Line in 1947 before reverting to its old name in 1948. JR West took over at the 1 April 1987 privatisation; freight ended in 1984, the Midori-no-Madoguchi closed in 2021, ICOCA launched in April 2023, and on-site staffing ended on 1 October 2023.

Until the 2003 timetable revision a single Onoda Line service still used platform 1, which was the line's official main track, while platform 3 — now used by every Onoda Line train — was treated only as a sub-track. Platform 1 then fell out of use, and its overhead wires had been removed by December 2008.
