The station opened as Jyoromatsu Station (上老松駅, Jyoromatsu-eki) on 14 February 1918. At that time, it was an intermediate station on the privately run 762 mm gauge Ehime Railway between Ōzu (now Iyo-Ōzu and Nagahama-machi (now Iyo-Nagahama. When the company was nationalized on 1 October 1933, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) assumed control and operated the station as part of the Ehime Line. When the track was regauged to 1067 mm and Iyo-Nagahama was linked up with Kitanada on 6 October 1935, the entire stretch including Jyoromatsu became part of the Yosan Mainline from Takamatsu to Iyo-Ōzu. On 1 April 1950, Jyoromatsu was renamed Iyo-Izushi. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Shikoku.[6][7]
