Sugita Station opened on 1 July 1930 as a temporary stop on the Shōnan Electric Railway, after the company's Kogane-chō–Uraga line had begun service three months earlier on 1 April without a station at this site. The stop was promoted to a full station on 1 May 1931. Through successive corporate mergers it became a Keihin Electric Railway station on 1 November 1941, a Tōkyū (Dai-Tōkyū) station on 1 May 1942, and finally a Keikyū station on 1 June 1948 when Keihin Kyūkō Railway separated from Dai-Tōkyū. The station was rebuilt as an elevated bridge station in March 1970, and the directly connected station building "Plala Sugita" opened in April 1993. In March 2010 a platform-side elevator was installed; in April toilets were added on the upbound platform; and in May platforms were extended for eight-car trains, with the new Airport Kyūkō (now Kyūkō) service stopping here from the timetable revision of 16 May 2010.

The station name "Sugita" originates from a cedar tree at the nearby Tōzen-ji temple on which a military banner was once raised, leading the tree to be called the "banner-raising cedar" (Hatatate-sugi) and giving the surrounding area its name.
