History
Shin-Naka Station opened on 21 January 1926 on the Kakamigahara Railway as Kagamino Station, taking the present Shin-Naka name later that July. The line was absorbed into Meigi Railway in March 1935 and reorganised as Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu) the following August. An adjacent depot, opened with the station, was retired in 1964 when the Kakamigahara Line was raised from 600 V to 1500 V and through services to the Inuyama Line began. A four-storey station building stood from 1971 until demolition in 2000, replaced by the present underground concourse in 1987; the station became fully unstaffed on 29 June 2024.

Notes
After Mikakino Station was unstaffed in April 2024, Shin-Naka briefly became the only staffed intermediate stop on the Kakamigahara Line, losing that distinction itself just two months later.
