History
Takadashi Station opened on 29 March 1929 as Takadamachi Station when the Osaka Railway extended its line from Furuichi to Kumedera (today's Kashiharajingu-mae). The line passed to Kansai Express Railway in February 1943 and to Kintetsu Railway in June 1944. On 1 January 1948 the town of Takada was elevated to the city of Yamato-Takada, and the station took its present name. The track bed was raised on an embankment in September 1951; selected limited expresses began stopping in March 1970, and all limited expresses by March 1980. PiTaPa support began on 1 April 2007.

Notes
When the town of Takada became Yamato-Takada City in 1948, the station could not take the natural new name "Yamato-Takada" because Kintetsu's Osaka Line already had a Yamato-Takada Station, so the unusual form "Takadashi" — literally "Takada-city" — was adopted instead.
