History
Chiyoda opened on 11 February 1938 between Takiya and Nagano (now Kawachi-Nagano) on the Nankai Railway, prompted by the relocation of the Osaka Army Youth School to the area. Wartime amalgamation placed it under Kintetsu in June 1944, and a postwar route transfer returned it to Nankai Electric Railway on 1 June 1947. The station was rebuilt with an overhead concourse in 1989, and a bus terminal was laid out on the western side at the same time. Barrier-free work was completed in March 2012 with the installation of two elevators, and the station code NK68 was introduced on 1 April 2012. The Obarada Rolling-Stock Depot's Chiyoda branch and Chiyoda Works lie just south of the station, which is why a large number of trains begin or end their runs here.

Notes
Thanks to the adjoining Chiyoda rolling-stock depot and works, an unusually large share of Kōya Line local trains start or terminate here rather than continuing further south.
