History
Enshū-Komatsu Station opened on 6 December 1909 as Komatsu Station (小松駅), taking its name from the at-the-time-locality Hamana-gun Ono-guchi-mura Ōaza Komatsu, where pine groves were once abundant. It was renamed Enshū-Komatsu on 1 April 1923. In June 1945 the Enshū Railway's head office (board and general-affairs sections) was temporarily relocated to the station-front area after the Hamamatsu air raid, and remained there until the end of the war. Freight operations ended on 1 October 1973, and the station building was renovated on 1 June 1979.

Notes
Although the formal name still carries the "Enshū" prefix, train PA announcements drop it and pronounce the station name with first-syllable pitch accent: "Ko-MA-tsu". The bus stop in front of the station was originally also called "Komatsu-eki", but the 21 March 2025 timetable revision relocated it onto the Futamata Road and changed its name to "Komatsu-eki Iriguchi" ("Komatsu Station Entrance").
