Kawagoe Station first opened on 1 April 1915 as Kawagoe-nishimachi on the Tojo Railway between Shingashi and Kawagoe-machi (today Kawagoeshi). The line passed to Tōbu Railway on 27 July 1920 when the two companies merged. On 22 July 1940, when the Japanese Government Railways' Kawagoe Line opened, the Tōbu stop was renamed Kawagoe and the two companies came to share the site. The present elevated station building opened on the Tōbu side in May 1990 with the JR portion following in April 1991. Suica use began in November 2001 and PASMO in March 2007. Through-running to Shibuya via the Tōkyō Metro Fukutoshin Line started on 14 June 2008; Tōkyū-Sōtetsu through-running added Shin-Yokohama and Shōnandai on 18 March 2023.

Although Kawagoe's well-known "Little Edo" merchant district lies more than a kilometre north of the station, Kawagoe Station's combined passenger total ranks it among Saitama Prefecture's busiest hubs.
