History

The station opened on 1 February 1901 as Kamata Station. The Airport Line was opened in 1902. Kamata Station was renamed Keihin Kamata Station in November 1925, and again renamed Keikyū Kamata Station, the present name, on 1 June 1987.
The station was rebuilt over a period of 12 years from December 2000 to October 2012 with the original ground-level tracks elevated to provide additional track capacity and eliminate road congestion on the three level crossings immediately adjacent to the station.

Future plans

Plans exist to extend the Tokyu Tamagawa Line from Kamata Station eastward by approximately 800 m to Keikyu Kamata Station. This would provide an interchange between the lines, improving accessibility to Tokyo's Haneda Airport ahead of the 2020 Summer Olympics. As of 2020 these plans have not yet materialized
