The station opened on 25 December 1896. From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on all Tobu lines, with Kita-Senju Station becoming "TS-09". The station facilities of the Hibiya and Chiyoda Lines were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.
