Nigata Station was opened on 24 November 1935. From 1 May 1946, it was a connecting station for the Nihori Sea Route, which runs from nearby Nigata Port to Horie Station (Horie Pier) on the opposite shore of the Seto Inland Sea in Matsuyama, Ehime. After the ferry was abolished on 1 July 1982, the connection function was transferred to Akiaga Station (the port of call for the Kure-Matsuyama Ferry). With the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.

In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 511 passengers daily.
