History
Terada Station opened on 3 November 1928 with the Nara Electric Railway's extension between Momoyama-Goryōmae and Saidaiji (now Yamato-Saidaiji). The line was absorbed into Kintetsu on 1 October 1963 to form part of the Kyoto Line, and PiTaPa IC service began on 1 April 2007. Elevators were installed on both platforms and the toilets were renovated on 23 March 2019. A new west-side transport plaza opened on 31 August 2021. From 10 January 2024 the station's previously full-time staffing was reduced to peak-hour-only attendance, making it the sole staffed station within Jōyō City.

Notes
After the neighbouring Kotsugawa and Tonoshō stations were both made unattended, the time-shift staffing reduction at Terada on 10 January 2024 still left Terada as the only staffed station inside the city of Jōyō.
