History
Unoki Station opened on 28 February 1924 on the Meguro-Kamata Electric Railway's Mekama Line, as Unoki Station (written 鵜ノ木駅). The operator became the Tokyo-Yokohama Electric Railway through a merger on 16 October 1939, then Tokyu Corporation on 26 May 1942. The Japanese spelling of the station name was changed to its present form on 20 January 1966. With the split of the Mekama Line on 6 August 2000 the station became part of the Tōkyū Tamagawa Line; barrier-free improvements and a high-ceilinged steel-frame station building were completed at the same time.

Notes
Because the platforms only fit three cars, four-car Mekama Line trains used to door-cut their Meguro-end car here; the practice ended with the 2000 line split, when consists were shortened to three cars and one-person operation began.
