Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the station on 26 April 1935 as an additional station on the existing Chikuho Main Line track. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Kyushu.[4][5]
On 4 March 2017, Chikuzen-Habu, along with several other stations on the line, became a "Smart Support Station". Under this scheme, although the station is unstaffed, passengers using the automatic ticket vending machines or ticket gates can receive assistance via intercom from staff at a central support centre which is located at Nakama.[6]
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 396 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 271st among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[7]
