## History

Minami-Komatsushima Station was opened on 15 December 1916 as an intermediate station along a stretch of track laid down by the privately run Anan Railway (阿南鉄道, Anan Tetsudo) from Chūden to Hanoura and Furushō (now closed). On 1 July 1936, the Anan Railway was nationalized and became part of the Mugi Line, operated by Japanese Government Railways (JGR).

On 1 February 2012, Komatsushima City set up a tourist information centre on the premises of the station.
