History

Nishi-Obihiro Station opened on 8 September 1907 as Fushiko Station (止若駅). It was renamed to its current name, Nishi-Obihiro Station, in November 1954.

With the privatization of the Japan National Railway (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the aegis of the Hokkaido Railway Company (JR Hokkaido).
