History

Iyo-Miyoshi Station opened on 1 October 1923 as the terminus of the then Sanuki Line (讃岐線) when it had been extended westwards from Nyūgawa. On the same day, the line was renamed the Sanyo Line (讃予線). Iyo-Miyoshi became a through station on 21 December 1923 when the line was further extended to Iyo-Sakurai. At that time the station was operated by Japanese Government Railways, later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.
