History
Kōnodai Station opened on 30 August 1914 as Ichikawa-Kōnodai Station on the Keisei Main Line in what is now Ichikawa, Chiba. It was shortened to Ichikawa on 11 December of the same year and re-extended to Ichikawa-Kōnodai (with different kanji) on 6 April 1921. The present name dates from 1 April 1948. The station was elevated on 4 June 1980 in conjunction with replacement of the adjacent Edogawa railway bridge. Only all-stations services now stop, although rapid services were added when the previous limited-express stop status ended in October 2002. Keisei-wide numbering on 17 July 2010 gave the stop the code KS13.

Notes
The station sits on a low hill overlooking the Edogawa where the seat of Shimōsa Province's ancient kokufu once stood, and the area features in Hiroshige's "Kōnodai Tonegawa Fūkei" print from the One Hundred Famous Views of Edo.
