Shin-Matsudo Station opened on 1 April 1973 as a JNR station, its Jōban Line and Musashino Line platforms entering service at the same time. At that point it was the terminus of the Musashino Line; that changed on 2 October 1978, when the line was extended to Nishi-Funabashi and Shin-Matsudo became an intermediate station. On 10 January 1982 the Sōbu-Nagareyama Electric Railway (now Ryūtetsu) moved its Kōya Station to its present site across the road, making Shin-Matsudo an interchange. It passed to JR East at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. Automatic ticket gates began operating on 14 July 1992, and Suica IC service became available on 18 November 2001. Accessibility upgrades were completed in 2010, and platform doors entered service on tracks 1 and 2 (the Jōban Line slow-line platforms) on 19 December 2021.

The station's name comes from the Shin-Matsudo Dai-ichi land readjustment project, approved in 1966: JNR had provisionally called the new station Kita-Mabashi and the city of Matsudo favoured Minami-Kogane, but local residents, mindful of how Shin-Yokohama and Shin-Ōsaka had prospered, pressed for the readjustment project's name and won out. The "Kita-Mabashi guard" on the viaduct pier in front of the ticket gates survives from before the name was settled.
