Kanagawa-Shimmachi Station opened on 21 August 1915 as Shimmachi Station on what is now the Keikyū Main Line; the name was taken from the Shimmachi quarter of the Kanagawa-juku post town. It was renamed Kanagawa-Shimmachi in April 1927. From 21 February 1965 it replaced the neighbouring Koyasu Station as a limited-express stop. The up-line platform was extended on 6 March 1978 to accommodate twelve-car trains; until then the added cars of twelve-car morning limited expresses had unloaded all their passengers at Yokohama because the up platform here could only handle eight cars. The Keikyū-Kamata–Shin-Zushi express service was abolished with the 31 July 1999 timetable overhaul. From the 16 May 2010 revision the station became an Airport Express stop. On 5 September 2019 a Limited Express train collided with a heavy lorry at the station's first level crossing, in the Kanagawa-Shimmachi No. 1 Crossing collision. A 2025 announcement set out plans for a station improvement and the construction of a station building.

Between Kanagawa-Shimmachi and Koyasu the up (inbound) side has two parallel tracks, allowing a limited express and a local train to depart at the same time and faster services to overtake while running alongside.
