History
Unga Station opened on 9 May 1911 with the Chiba Prefectural Railway's Noda Line between Noda-machi (today Noda-shi) and Kashiwa, taking its name from the nearby Tone Canal (Tone Unga). The line was transferred to Hokusō Railway on 1 August 1923, became Sōbu Railway on 22 November 1929, and was absorbed by Tōbu Railway on 1 March 1944. The departure melody was adopted on 10 October 2008. The new elevated station building began phased opening on 13 July 2013, with the east entrance and the east-west free passage following on 27 December 2013. From 14 March 2020 the Urban Park Liner service was extended to Kashiwa, and Unga became a stop on that train.

Notes
The pedestrian "Fureai-bashi" linking the station to the Tokyo University of Science campus across the Tone Canal was built in 1996 by the religious organisation Reiha-no-Hikari and donated to Noda City.
