The station reopened in July 1958 from Wang Pho railway station, as part of State Railway of Thailand's project in rebuilding the railway after the Second World War. The name "Nam Tok" (Thai for waterfall) refers to the nearby Sai Yok Noi waterfall. It was formerly named "Tha Sao" like the village, but later changed to "Nam Tok" because Tha Sao was an already existing station on the Northern Line.
