Takada Station was opened on 1 March 1891 as a terminal station on the Osaka Railway. The line was extended to Sakurai on 23 May 1893. On 10 May 1896, the Nanwa Railway began operations from this station to Kuzu Station (now Yoshinoguchi. On 6 June 1900 the Kansai Railway took over the Osaka Railway, followed by the Nanwa Railway on 9 December 1904. The Kansai Railway itself was nationalized on 1 October 1907. On 12 October 1909, the section between Oji Station and Wakayamashi Station, including this station, became the Wakayama Line, and the section from this station to Sakurai Station became the Sakurai Line. The current station building was completed on 1 August 1984. With the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station was transferred to JR West. On 13 March 2004, with the opening of the Kyushu Shinkansen, the station was transferred to the Hisatsu Orange Railway.
