Sōma Station opened on 10 November 1897 as Nakamura Station on the Nippon Railway, taking the name of the town in which it sat. Nationalisation followed on 1 November 1906, and the line was designated the Jōban Line in October 1909. The station was renamed Sōma Station on 20 March 1961 after Nakamura town merged into the new Sōma City. Service was suspended after the 11 March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake; trains as far as Haranomachi resumed on 21 December 2011, the section on to Hamayoshida on 10 December 2016, and through services with limited express Hitachi from 14 March 2020 when the full Jōban Line was restored. JR East returned the station to direct operation on 1 October 2025.

The tile-roofed wooden station building, evocative of a traditional Japanese house, earned the station selection in the 2002 list of the Top 100 Stations of Tōhoku.
