During the planning phase, this station was called Miaotou Lu Station. On February 27, 2023, the Guangzhou Civil Affairs Bureau announced the initial names of stations on the east extension of Line 5, and this station was renamed to Miaotou Station.[4] It was handed over to the '3 Powers' on 31 October 2023 for territorial management and operation of the station and facilities.[5]

The station was the last one to be capped on the eastern extension of Line 5, which happened during January 2023.[6]
