[edit] History
Higashi-Kanagawa Station was opened on September 23, 1908 as a joint use station on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) Tōkaidō Main Line (the predecessor to the JNR) and the privately-owned Yokohama Railway Line (which connected Yokohama Station with Hachioji Station. A spur line for freight operations to Umikanagawa Station (closed in 1959) was established on December 10, 1911. The Keihin Electric Train (the forerunner to the Keihin-Tōhoku Line) began operations from Higashi-Kanagawa from December 20, 1914. The Yokohama Railway Line was nationalized on October 1, 1917. Higashi-Kanagawa Station was completely destroyed in the Bombing of Yokohama in World War II in 1945. Rebuilt soon after the end of the war, freight operations were discontinued from 1959, and small parcel operations from 1984. With the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the operational control of JR East.
