History

Sabae Station opened on 15 July 1896. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.

From the start of the revised timetable on 16 March 2024, the conventional line station was transferred to the Hapi-Line Fukui Line due to the opening of the western extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen from Kanazawa to Tsuruga.{{Cite web |title=福井県並行在来線経営計画 |trans-title=Fukui Prefecture Parallel Conventional Line Management Plan |url=https://www.hapi-line.co.jp/files/uploads/management_plan_202111.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231216150530/https://www.hapi-line.co.jp/files/uploads/management_plan_202111.pdf |archive-date=16 December 2023 |access-date=4 February 2024 |website=hapi-line.co.jp |language=ja}}
