The privately run Chikuho Kogyo Railway had opened a track from  to  on 30 August 1891 and, after several phases of extension, the track had reached south to  by 1893. On 1 October 1897, the Chikuho Kogyo Railway, now renamed the Chikuho Railway, merged with the Kyushu Railway. Kyushu Railway undertook the next phase of expansion by extending the track to Keisen, then named Nagao, and establishing it as the new southern terminus on 12 December 1901. After the Kyushu Railway was nationalized on 1 July 1907, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over control of the station. On 12 October 1909, the track to Iizuka was designated the Chikuho Main Line while the track from Iizuka to Nagao was designated the Nagao Line. On 15 July 1928, Nagao became a through-station when the track was further extended to . On 7 December 1929, both lines were merged and the station became part of the Chikuho Main Line. On 1 December 1940, the station was renamed Keizen. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Kyushu. Station numbering was introduced on 28 September 2018 with Keisen being assigned station number JC10 for the Fukuhoku Yutaka Line and JG04 for the Haruda Line. Passenger statistics
