The station first opened on January 21, 1887, namedKanō Station (加納駅) and was primarily used for the transport of goods. On December 15, 1888, it became a passenger rail station, at which point its name was changed to Gifu Station. On July 22, 1913, the former Aichi Station building, which closed in 1909, was moved to the area that is now the south side of Gifu Station. This station was used until it was burned to the ground during the firebombings of Gifu City in 1945. On April 1, 1987, it became part of JR Central. On November 1, 1986, construction of the elevated rail lines began, with construction ending on March 2, 1996. The station was extensively remodelled in 2008.

Station numbering was introduced to the section of the Tōkaidō Line operated JR Central as well as the Takayama Main Line in March 2018; Gifu Station was assigned station number CA74 for the Tōkaidō Main Line and CG00 for the Takayama Main Line.^[3][4]
