Higashi-Kanagawa Station opened on 23 September 1908 as a joint-use stop on the government-operated Tōkaidō Main Line and the privately owned Yokohama Railway, the predecessor of today's Yokohama Line. A freight spur to Umikanagawa Station was opened on 10 December 1911; Keihin Electric Train services, the precursor of the Keihin-Tōhoku Line, began calling here from 20 December 1914. The Yokohama Railway was nationalised on 1 October 1917, and the station passed to JR East at JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987. The Umikanagawa freight branch was closed in 1959. Station numbering was introduced on 20 August 2016, with codes JK13 for the Keihin-Tōhoku Line and JH13 for the Yokohama Line.

Platform LED lighting installed on 15 September 2013 switches between light blue and light green to signal whether the next train will be a Keihin-Tōhoku or Yokohama Line service.
