Ichikawa-Mama Station opened on 30 August 1914 as the terminus of the Keisei Electric Tramway's line, then named Ichikawa-Shinden. With the line's extension to Nakayama (now Keisei-Nakayama) on 3 November 1915 it became an intermediate station, and it was renamed Ichikawa-Mama on 6 April 1921. As part of a sweeping rebuild begun in 1970 and completed in December 1972, the station regained the overtaking function it had lost — returning to the two island platforms and four tracks it had at opening — and was rebuilt with a bridge-style station building. A platform-to-concourse lift was installed on 15 March 2008. From 27 April 2019 the operator began an annual seasonal promotion in which the name signs are rewritten as 市川ママ, the kanji 真間 (Mama) replaced by the katakana ママ, and left that way until Mother's Day; the 2020 edition was cancelled because of COVID-19.

In Keisei's early years the district north of the station was the operator's nerve centre, with the company-run Tōkaen amusement park (famous for its chrysanthemum-doll displays), the offices of Keisei's electric-lighting department, and the residence of founding president Teijirō Honda; a stone monument honouring Honda still survives there.
