History
The station's lineage traces back to 1 March 1946, when Kashiwagaya Station opened on what is today the Sōtetsu Main Line; it was renamed Ōtsuka-Honmachi on 1 April 1946. With the opening of nearby Kashiwadai Station on 17 August 1975, the predecessor was relocated and renamed Sagamino. The new station name comes from the surrounding Sagami Plateau (Sagamino-daichi). Platform doors entered service on 6 February 2022. Sagamino sits close to the Ebina city limits and is a familiar transfer for American service personnel stationed at the nearby Naval Air Facility Atsugi; a short spur once branched off toward the base, though it is no longer operational.

Notes
Although the Zama city districts named Sagamino were so named after the station, no Sōtetsu station actually sits in Zama, and Ebina city — where Sagamino Station is — has no neighbourhood by that name.
