History
Kamagaya Station opened on 27 December 1923 as a stop on the Hokusō Railway's Funabashi Line. The operator was renamed Sōbu Railway in November 1929, and on 1 March 1944 wartime land-transport rationalisation forced Sōbu Railway's absorption into Tōbu Railway, leaving the station on Tōbu's Funabashi Line. The Funabashi Line was merged into the Noda Line on 16 April 1948, and until Shin-Kamagaya Station opened on 25 November 1999 this was the only Noda Line stop within Kamagaya City. An elevated station building was completed on 14 October 2001, departure-melody chimes were introduced on 28 July 2008, the toilets were rebuilt in 2023, and fixed safety fences were installed along both platform edges the same year.

Notes
In 2009 the platform departure melody was changed to a faintly tinny brass arrangement of the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters' team song, in recognition of the franchise's training base in the city.
