Awa-Kawabata Station was opened as Kawabata Stop on 15 July 1927 by the privately operated Awa Railway. After the company was nationalised on 1 July 1933 the station passed to Japanese Government Railways, was renamed Awa-Kawabata Station, and was operated as part of the Awa Line; from 20 March 1935 it became a station on the Kōtoku Main Line. It was destaffed on 1 April 1970. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 control passed to JR Shikoku. The station is a single-platform halt and the only stop on the Tokushima section of the Kōtoku Line without a passing loop.

Awa-Kawabata is the only station on the Tokushima Prefecture portion of the Kōtoku Line that lacks a passing loop.
