History
Kogane Station opened on 26 June 1938 at Kogane-dōri 8-chōme, Nakamura-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, when the Kansai Express Railway (Kansai Kyūkō Dentetsu) opened the section between Kuwana and Kankyū-Nagoya (now Kintetsu Nagoya). On 1 January 1940 the parent Sangū Express Railway absorbed the Kansai Express Railway, and on 15 March 1941 the Ōsaka Electric Tramway merged the Sangū Express Railway to form the Kansai Express Railway (Kansai Kyūkō Tetsudō), with the station being designated a Nagoya Line stop under the line-name revision. On 1 June 1944 the Kansai Express Railway merged with the Nankai Railway to form Kinki Nippon Railway (Kintetsu). Service was suspended on 1 June 1945 and resumed on 1 March 1947. The PiTaPa IC card came into service on 1 April 2007, and the station was de-staffed on 21 December 2014.

Notes
Although the surrounding area has consistently been called "Kogane" by residents, the official reading of the underlying place-name (Kogane-dōri) was actually "Ōgon-dōri" until 2017 (Heisei 29), when the reading was finally regularised to match common usage; the station itself has always been read "Kogane."
