Hamakita Station was established on December 6, 1909 as Kibune Station (貴布禰駅, Kibune-eki). It was renamed Enshū-Kibune Station (遠州貴布禰駅, Enshū-Kibune-eki) in April 1923. All freight operations were discontinued in 1973. The station was given its current name in 1977, when the station building was reconstructed into a two-story structure housing a small shopping center. This shopping center closed in 2003.
