Taishō Station opened on 25 April 1961 when the Osaka Loop Line was completed between Nishi-Kujō and the Sakaigawa signal box; until then, the only public transport to nearby Taishō Ward was the city's ferry, tram, and bus services. The freight branch that previously ran here, opened in 1928, was converted to passenger service when the Loop Line formed. Operations passed to JR West at JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987. The Osaka Municipal Subway's Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line reached the station as a new terminus on 29 August 1997, and the rapid services became regular stops here on 12 March 2011.

Since March 2015 the JR platforms have used the Okinawan folk song "Tinsagu nu Hana" as a departure melody, a nod to the many residents of Okinawan origin who live around the station and give the neighbourhood its strongly Okinawan character.
