Nishidai Station opened on 15 March 1910 with the Hyōgo Electric Tramway's first segment between Hyōgo and Suma. After ownership passed through Ujigawa Electric in 1927, the railway operations were spun off in 1933 as Sanyō Electric Railway. A fire at the Nishidai depot in September 1951 destroyed fourteen cars. With the opening of the Kobe Rapid Railway on 7 April 1968 the Hyōgo–Nishidai section was abandoned and the station became Sanyō Electric Main Line's terminus and the boundary point for through-running. After the 17 January 1995 Hanshin earthquake the surface station was abandoned in favour of an underground replacement, which opened on 18 June 1995.

Nishidai is the station where Sanyō Electric Railway has its head office, and it is also the westernmost and southernmost station on the Hanshin Electric Railway network.
