Sakaide Station opened on 21 February 1897 as a stop on the privately built Sanuki Railway, which had just completed the section between Takamatsu and Marugame. The line was absorbed by the Sanyo Railway in 1904, then nationalised in 1906, eventually becoming part of the JR-era Yosan Line. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, control passed to JR Shikoku, which assigned the station number Y08. Today Sakaide is a junction stop on the Yosan Line 21.3 km from Takamatsu and is served by most limited-express trains other than Uzushio, along with rapid and local services and overnight sleeper limited-express trains bound for Okayama.
