Shin-Hōsono Station opened on 3 November 1928 as a stop on the Nara Electric Railway between Momoyama-Goryōmae and Saidaiji (now Yamato-Saidaiji). The Nara Electric Railway was absorbed into Kintetsu on 1 October 1963, making the station part of the Kintetsu Kyoto Line. The current elevated station building was completed on 14 September 1994, and an elevated walkway links the station to the adjacent JR Hōsono Station. Express services began stopping from the 15 March 2000 timetable revision, reflecting the station's growing role as one of the hubs of the Kansai Science City. PiTaPa IC fare collection began on 1 April 2007.

Shin-Hōsono and the JR-operated Hōsono Station next door are linked by an elevated walkway. Several Kintetsu Kyoto Line stations sit close to a Gakkentoshi Line station, but Shin-Hōsono is the only one announced by name as a transfer point in on-board conductor announcements; JR's own announcements instead advise changing to the Kintetsu line at Kyōtanabe.
