Suminodō Station opened on 22 August 1895 with the Naniwa Railway's Shijōnawate-to-Katamachi section. The line passed to Kansai Railway in 1897 and was nationalised on 1 October 1907; on 12 October 1909 the route was classified as the Sakuranomiya Line, and in 1913 became part of the Katamachi Line. Freight handling ended on 1 July 1973. An elevated-track grade-separation project, decided in November 1975 and authorised in March 1976, was completed in November 1989. On 10 March 1990 the two passing tracks (platforms 1 and 4) entered service, giving the station its present two-island, four-track layout and bringing the weekday-evening rapid/local connection here. The station became JR West's at privatisation on 1 April 1987, adopted the Gakkentoshi nickname on 13 March 1988, and was numbered JR-H36 in March 2018.

Suminodō is the busiest mid-line station on the Gakkentoshi (Katamachi) Line and ranks 27th system-wide among JR West stations.
