The station opened on October 7, 1901, as the terminus of the Jōbu Railway (present-day Chichibu Railway) from Kumagaya.[4][5] From April 2, 1903, the Jōbu Railway line was extended from Yorii to Hagure.[4]

The Tobu Railway station opened on July 10, 1925, with the completion of the Tōjō Line from Ogawamachi.[4][5]

The JR (former Japanese Government Railways) station opened on January 25, 1933, following the extension of the Hachikō Line from Kodama. The Hachikō Line was extended south to Ogawamachi on October 6, 1934.[6]

The JR East section became Suica-compatible from February 2002. The Tobu section became Pasmo-compatible from March 2007.

From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on the Tobu Tojo Line, with Yorii Station becoming "TJ-38".[7]
