Sanda Station opened on 25 January 1899 as the terminus of a Hankaku Railway extension from Arimaguchi (today Namaze) in the city of Sanda, Hyōgo Prefecture. The line was nationalised on 1 August 1907, was designated the Hankaku Line when line names were fixed on 12 October 1909, and on 1 March 1912 the section of that line south of Fukuchiyama was renamed the Fukuchiyama Line, taking Sanda with it. The connecting Arima Railway opened into Sanda on 16 April 1915 and was nationalised on 31 March 1919, becoming the state-run Arima Light Railway Line (the Arima Line from 1922), which was suspended in 1943 and no longer exists. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the JR portion came under JR West, and station numbering JR-G61 was introduced in March 2018. Today the station is jointly operated by JR West and the Kobe Electric Railway (Shintetsu), with the Shintetsu Sanda Line terminating at its bay platforms.

Until 1943 the JNR Arima Line ran from Sanda to Arima Onsen; the remains of that line's platform can still be made out at the Amagasaki end of JR platform 1.
