History
Satte Station opened on 1 April 1929 with Tobu Railway's Nikkō Line between Sugito and Shin-Kanuma. A 1986 timetable revision opened Sugito-Kōnodai and Minami-Kurihashi stations, ending Satte's terminating workings and removing its passing loop. Direct services into the Tokyo Metro Hibiya and Hanzōmon Lines and the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line began stopping here from 19 March 2003; the 2006 timetable revision then reclassified through workings, adding section-express and section semi-express categories. Station numbering TN-02 was introduced in March 2012. Major rebuilding from 2017 to March 2019 delivered a footbridge, a free east-west passageway, and a west plaza. From the 21 April 2017 timetable revision, regularly scheduled limited expresses no longer stop except during the spring cherry-blossom festival.

Notes
Until Minami-Kurihashi Station opened, the 8.1-kilometre gap between Satte and Kurihashi was the longest inter-station distance anywhere on the Tobu network.
