Kō Station was opened on 1 April 1926 as a station on the Aichi Electric Railway's Toyohashi Line connecting Toyohashi with {{STN|Kozakai|x}} in the former municipality of {{ill|Kō (Aichi)|lt=Kō|ja|国府町_(愛知県)}}. On 1 April 1935, the Aichi Electric Railway merged with the Nagoya Railroad (the forerunner of present-day Meitetsu). A spur line to Toyokawa was opened on 18 February 1945. In December 1987, the station platforms were extended to be able to accommodate trains of six-carriages in length. The station building was rebuilt in 2008-2009.{{cite book |last = Terada |first = Hirokazu |script-title=ja: データブック日本の私鉄 |trans-title=Databook: Japan's Private Railways |publisher = Neko Publishing |date = 19 January 2013 |location = Japan |language = ja |page = 255|isbn = 978-4-7770-1336-4}}
