Kawamata Station first opened on 23 April 1903 as the temporary terminus of the Tobu Railway's extension from Kazo, on the right (Saitama) bank of the Tone River. With the completion of the Tone River bridge on 27 August 1907 and the further extension to Ashikagamachi (today Ashikagashi) Station, the station was relocated to the left (Gunma) bank at its present site. Freight operations ended on 30 September 1997, station numbering TI 08 was introduced on 17 March 2012, and on 23 January 2016 an elevated station building was completed and an east exit opened.

Although the station is called Kawamata, it stands in Nakaya in the town of Meiwa: the name was carried over from the station's original 1903–1907 site at Motokawamata in the former village of Kawamata, now part of Hanyū in Saitama Prefecture, on the right bank of the Tone River.
