Shiraoka Station opened on 11 February 1910 in what is now the city of Shiraoka, Saitama, after being upgraded from an Imperial Railway Agency signal post that had operated since May 1908. The Tōhoku Main Line, opened between Ōmiya and Utsunomiya in July 1885, had no stop between Hasuda and Kuki, and as rail shipment of farm produce grew the surrounding villages submitted a joint petition for a station in 1907. An overbridge station building was completed in November 1976, freight and parcel handling ceased in February 1984, and the station became part of JR East at privatisation on 1 April 1987. Suica IC cards became usable from November 2001.

The signal post took its name from the adjoining Shiraoka district of Shinozu village and from the Shiraoka Hachiman Shrine rather than from its actual host hamlet of Koguki, chosen to avoid confusion with neighbouring Kuki Station.
