=History=
The station opened on 17 October 1895.{{cite book |script-title=ja: 停車場変遷大辞典 国鉄・JR編|trans-title= Station Transition Directory - JNR/JR| publisher = JTB | editor1-last = Ishino| editor1-first = Tetsu| year = 1998 | location = Japan |language= Japanese | volume = II| page = 121| isbn = 4-533-02980-9}}
During the bombing of Osaka on August 14, 1945, a one-ton bomb directly struck the Katamachi Line platform and killed 700 to 800 evacuees. Kyobashi was one of the last sites to be bombed in Japan during World War II, followed only by the bombing of Akita, later the same day. A memorial was erected on the site in 1947, and anniversary services have been held at the station every year since 1955.{{citation needed|date=April 2017}}
With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.
The JR Tozai Line opened in 1997, at which point Kyobashi became a terminal for both the Tozai Line and Katamachi Line.{{citation needed|date=April 2017}}
Station numbering was introduced on the JR West lines in March 2018 with the Osaka Loop Line being assigned station number JR-O08 and the Tozai Line being assigned station number JR-H41.{{Cite web |date=20 July 2016 |title=近畿エリアの12路線 のべ300駅に「駅ナンバー」を導入します! |trans-title="Station numbers" will be introduced at a total of 300 stations on 12 lines in the Kinki area! |url=https://www.westjr.co.jp/press/article/2016/07/page_8973.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221116010608/https://www.westjr.co.jp/press/article/2016/07/page_8973.html |archive-date=16 November 2022 |access-date=30 December 2022 |website=westjr.co.jp |language=ja}}{{Cite web |date=20 July 2016 |title=「駅ナンバー」一覧表 |trans-title="Station number" list |url=https://www.westjr.co.jp/press/article/items/160720_01_ekinumber.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221116010610/https://www.westjr.co.jp/press/article/items/160720_01_ekinumber.pdf |archive-date=16 November 2022 |access-date=30 December 2022 |website=westjr.co.jp |language=ja}}
