History
The station opened on December 24, 1905, originally named Nakakido Station (中木戸駅) (with differing kanji characters). The station was rebuilt as an elevated station in August 1910, but was destroyed in an air raid on May 29, 1945, and again by a fire in July 1957. The platforms were lengthened in 1971, and a pedestrian walkway was added in 2004.
Keikyū introduced station numbering to its stations on 21 October 2010; Keikyū Higashi-kanagawa Station was assigned station number KK35.
The station was renamed Keikyū Higashi-kanagawa (京急東神奈川駅, Keikyū Higashikanagawa-eki) on 14 March 2020.
