Higashi-Koganei Station opened on 10 September 1964 as a Japanese National Railways stop, created as a petitioned station whose construction cost was borne entirely by local residents. Freight handling, including a role as a hub for automobile transport using Ku 5000-type wagons, ran from 5 April 1965 to 1 December 1984. With the 1 April 1987 JNR breakup the station passed to JR East, and Suica IC cards were accepted from 18 November 2001. The down line was elevated on 1 July 2007 and the up line on 6 December 2009, completing the elevation project. The "nonowa Higashi-Koganei" retail complex and the west-side nonowa gate opened on 27 January 2014. Station operations were outsourced on 1 April 2015 and the staffed Midori no Madoguchi ticket office closed on 30 June 2018.

Higashi-Koganei was born a petitioned station (seigan-eki): the full cost of building it was borne by local residents rather than by Japanese National Railways.
