Ōmika Station was opened on 25 February 1897. The Hitachi Electric Railway operated to this station from 1928 to 2005. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987. In 2016, construction was begun on a new station building, which is expected to be complete by the end of March 2019.
