History
Ōgi Station opened on 12 April 1905 with the rest of the Hanshin Main Line, the interurban predecessor of today's Hanshin Electric Railway Main Line linking Umeda in Osaka with central Kobe. The station was damaged by the Great Hanshin earthquake on 17 January 1995; service between Aoki and Ōgi was restored on 26 January 1995, and service between Ōgi and Mikage on 11 February 1995, with the full Hanshin Main Line restored on 26 June 1995. Station numbering HS-22 was introduced on 21 December 2013. Between April 2009 and November 2019, the Sumiyoshi–Ashiya section was put through grade-separation works; westbound elevated tracks opened in December 2015 and eastbound tracks on 30 November 2019, leaving Ōgi as a four-track elevated station with two island platforms.

Notes
On Kōshien stadium event days, extra Umeda-bound trains stand by on Line 1 at Ōgi before deadheading westbound to Kōshien Station to handle surge demand.
