Chōshi Station opened on 1 June 1897 as a station on the Sōbu Railway.[1] On 1 September 1907, the Sōbu Railway was nationalized, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railway (JGR).
The Chōshi Electric Railway Line from Chōshi to Tokawa opened on 5 July 1923.[2]
After World War II, JGR became the Japan National Railways (JNR). Scheduled freight operations were suspended from 31 March 1978. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987.
