History

Kawasaki-Shimmachi Station opened on March 25, 1930, initially as a freight-only station on the Nambu Railway's Nambu Branch Line.[2] Passenger services began on April 10, 1930.[2] The Nambu Railway was nationalized on April 1, 1944, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railway (JGR) system, at which time freight services at the station were discontinued.[2] The JGR became the Japanese National Railways (JNR) from 1949.

With the privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of JR East.[2]
