History
The station opened on December 24, 1905, originally named Nakakido Station (中木戸駅) (with differing kanji characters).[1] The station was rebuilt as an elevated station in August 1910, but was destroyed in an air raid on May 29, 1945, and again by a fire in July 1957.[citation needed] The platforms were lengthened in 1971, and a pedestrian walkway was added in 2004.[citation needed]
Keikyū introduced station numbering to its stations on 21 October 2010; Keikyū Higashi-kanagawa Station was assigned station number KK35.[2]
The station was renamed Keikyū Higashi-kanagawa (京急東神奈川駅, Keikyū Higashikanagawa-eki) on 14 March 2020.[3]
