History
Noborito Station opened as a station on the Nambu Railway on 9 March 1927. The adjacent Odawara Line station opened on 1 April 1927 as Inada-Tamagawa Station (稲田多摩川駅). The Nambu Railway was nationalized on 1 April 1944 becoming part of the Japanese Government Railway (JGR) system, which became the Japan National Railways (JNR) from 1949. The adjacent Odawara Line station was renamed Noborito-Tamagawa Station (登戸多摩川駅) on April 1955, and the name shortened to its present name on 1 April 1958. Freight services were discontinued on the Nambu Line from 1 April 1972. Along with privatization and division of JNR, JR East started operating the Nambu Line station on 1 April 1987. The station building and platforms were extensively remodelled from 2003-2007.

Station numbering was introduced to the Odakyu Line in January 2014 with Noborito being assigned station number OH18.
