History
Kuzuha Station opened on 15 April 1910 with the inauguration of the Keihan Main Line. Until the 1960s the station served a quiet farming district, but Keihan's development of the Kuzuha Rose Town housing estate from 1968 onward, together with the public Otokoyama New Town, dramatically increased ridership. The station was moved roughly 300 metres towards Osaka on 20 June 1971 to its present site, gaining Keihan's first automatic ticket gates and express stop status; the Kuzuha Mall shopping centre, billed as Japan's first wide-area shopping centre, opened in front of the new station on 1 April 1972. Limited express service began on 6 September 2003, and morning and evening peak limited expresses began stopping on 19 October 2008.

Notes
Although the station name is written 樟葉 (Kuzuha), the surrounding postal address uses the variant 楠葉; the discrepancy dates from a 1900s village merger whose adopted spelling was preserved only in the station name.
