Nakayama Station opened on 23 September 1908 with the Yokohama Railway's Higashi-Kanagawa - Hachiōji line. It was leased to the Railway Agency in 1910, nationalised in 1917, and burned down in a fire on 8 January 1918 caused by an attendant leaving a lamp-cleaning rag too close to a stove. Freight handling ended in 1960, the new bridge-type station building was completed on 24 March 1983 (¥870 million paid jointly by JNR, Yokohama City, and the local land-redevelopment association), and the LonLon Nakayama station-building opened on 22 November 1985. The station passed to JR East on 1 April 1987 at privatisation; Suica IC service began on 18 November 2001. On 30 March 2008 the Yokohama Municipal Subway Green Line (Line 4) opened underground, making Nakayama a connecting station and the line's western terminus.

On 1 October 2013 a 40-year-old woman, Natsue Murata, was struck and killed by a train at the level crossing immediately east of Nakayama Station while attempting to rescue a 74-year-old man who had collapsed on the tracks. The man survived with injuries; on 4 October the Government announced a posthumous Medal with Red Ribbon for her courage. The Green Line station's platform follows a "square of connection" (musubi-no-hiroba) design theme that won the Cabinet Office Award for Universal Design Excellence in 2008. Smart platform doors were activated on JR East platforms 1 and 3 on 28 July 2023, and on platform 2 on 17 December 2025.
