History
Koori Station opened on 1887-12-15 as a Nippon Railway station on what is now the Tōhoku Main Line, making it the earliest-opened station in Fukushima Prefecture's Date District. The station, in the town of Koori, lost freight handling on 1978-09-10 and parcel handling on 1984-02-01. It joined JR East at the breakup of Japanese National Railways on 1987-04-01 and accepted Suica from 2009-03-14. The station now has two side platforms in service; an earlier island platform's middle track has been disconnected and fenced off as a side-track. The wooden station building remains in use under a JR East East-Japan Total Services management consignment.

Notes
Until recently the station's middle track was a working third track served by the island platform; it has been retired into use as a maintenance-of-way side track and the platform face is now fenced off.
