Shingū Station opened on 1 March 1913 as the terminus of the Shingu Railway in what is now the city of Shingū, Wakayama Prefecture. The railway was nationalized on 1 July 1934, and on 20 May 1938 the station was relocated 40 metres south of its original site. The station building burned down on 21 January 1951 after a fire started in the checked-luggage room. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station was jointly assigned to JR West and JR Freight; freight operations ended on 16 March 1996. The station today is the boundary between JR West and JR Central on the Kisei Main Line.

Shingū is the boundary between JR West and JR Central on the Kisei Main Line: electrification ends at the station, and a sign at the north portal of the Tankaku tunnel marks the operational frontier.
