Warabi Station opened on 16 July 1893 as a Nippon Railway stop. Nationalisation under the Railway Nationalisation Act came on 1 November 1906, and the line was designated part of the Tohoku Main Line on 12 October 1909. The current station building dates to 17 October 1967, with the west entrance and a footbridge to the platform added in 1933 and the east entrance opened on 15 September 1949. Freight ended on 1 February 1984 and parcel handling on 14 March 1985. JR East inherited the station at privatisation on 1 April 1987.
