History
Chikuzen-Daibu Station opened on 25 May 1968 when Japanese National Railways extended the Sasaguri Line east from Sasaguri to Keisen, completing the alignment now marketed as part of the Fukuhoku Yutaka Line. Originally laid out as a private spur for the Daibu coal mine, the trackwork was repurposed and the station opened on the new through route. The stop is unstaffed and was numbered "JC10" under JR Kyushu after the 1 April 1987 privatisation. A short staffing arrangement ended on 11 March 2022, after which the ticket window was closed and the station fully unstaffed the following day. Sidings branch off the running tracks in the direction of Kurōbaru. The surrounding district has filled in with the Uguisudai residential development.

Notes
The rails the station now uses were originally a private siding built to serve the Daibu coal mine, repurposed when the Sasaguri Line was pushed through to Keisen in 1968.
