History
Minami-Ōdaka Station opened on 14 March 2009 as a JR Central Tōkaidō Main Line stop inserted between Kyōwa and Ōdaka. The roughly ¥3.1-billion project was a request station funded chiefly from the proceeds of Nagoya's Ōdaka-minami land-readjustment scheme, and it sits next to AEON Mall Ōdaka, which had opened a year earlier. JR Central confirmed the station's name on 15 December 2008. With the station's opening, the southern boundary of the JR "Nagoya city" zone-fare area moved one stop south from Ōdaka. Station numbering CA62 was rolled out in March 2018, and the secondary name "Gomu-no-inaki-mae" was added on 1 December 2025.

Notes
Opening Minami-Ōdaka pushed the southern edge of the JR "Nagoya city" zone-fare area one station further south, and yearly ridership has grown to exceed that of the older Ōdaka stop immediately to the north.
