History
Kanagawa Station opened on 24 December 1905 as Kanagawa-Teishajō-mae Station on the Keihin Electric Railway, the terminal of the new Kawasaki–Kanagawa section. The name was later shortened to Kanagawa, and the station was renamed Keihin-Kanagawa in December 1925. A provisional extension to Yokohama opened on 22 June 1929; the original Keihin-Kanagawa was abolished on 6 April 1930, and Aoki-bashi Station, which had opened on 29 March that year, took over the Keihin-Kanagawa name. The station was renamed again to Kanagawa on 20 April 1956. A curve-easing and platform-extension project on the down-side cutting was completed on 15 November 1971, and a renovated station building replaced the earlier Western-style structure on 26 February 1992. The station was selected for the Kantō Stations One Hundred Selection in 1999.
