Sakado Station first opened on 27 October 1916 as Sakado-machi on the Tōjō Railway's Kawagoe extension; the journey from Ikebukuro then took roughly one hour and forty minutes. The Ogose Line began as a freight-only branch from Sakado on 17 February 1932 and was extended to Ogose with passenger service from 16 December 1934. The 1920 takeover of Tōjō Railway by Tōbu Railway brought the station into the Tōbu network, and on 1 September 1976 it was renamed Sakado when Sakado attained city status. A central elevated concourse linking the north and south sides was completed in April 2011 after about three years of work, replacing the previously separated north- and south-side ticket gates.

From the 1920s through the 1960s, a private gravel tramway ran straight west from Sakado Station to the Komagawa River; the stub track to the west of today's platforms is what remains of that line.
