History

The station opened on 14 February 1918. At that time, it was an intermediate station on the privately run 762 mm gauge Ehime Railway from Nagahama-machi (now Iyo-Nagahama) to Ōzu (now Iyo-Ōzu). 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. Subsequently, the track of the Ehime Line was regauged to 1,067 mm. A link up with the Yosan Line was created between Kitanada and Iyo-Nagahama. The stretch of Ehime Line track from Iyo-Nagahama to Iyo-Ōzu, including Hataki was then incorporated into the Yosan Main Line on 6 October 1935. In the process, Hataki was also moved to its present location. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Shikoku.[6][7]
