Sagae Station began operation on 11 December 1921. The station briefly acted as the terminus of the Aterazawa line until the line was extended to Aterazawa Station, the current Terminus, the following year.

The Station will start accepting Suica Cards in Spring 2024, with the extension of the Sendai area Suica zone to Yamagata Prefecture.[4]
