The station opened on 28 February 1936.[2] It took its name from the village of Ōya (大家村), and lay to the west of Ōya Station, which closed in 1945.[6]

A junction, "Nishi-Ōya Junction", was built to the east of the station in 1963 for a spur serving the Nippon Cement factory nearby, but this line closed in 1984.[6]

Platform edge sensors and TV monitors were installed in 2008 ahead of the start of driver-only operation on the Ogose Line from June 2008. From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on the Tobu Ogose Line, with Nishi-Ōya Station becoming "TJ-42".[7]

In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 3,981 passengers daily.[8]
