Nishi-Kanazawa Station opened on 1 August 1912 as Nonoichi Station (野々市駅). It was renamed to its present name on 1 October 1925. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of West Japan Railway Company (JR West).
On 16 March 2024, the station came under the aegis of the IR Ishikawa Railway due to the extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen from Kanazawa to Tsuruga.[3]
In fiscal 2015, the station was used by an average of 2,628 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[4]
