The station opened on 18 April 1914 as Kamigō Station (上郷駅), a station for freight services only on the Iwate Light Railway (岩手軽便鉄道),[1] a 762 mm (2 ft 6 in) light railway extending 65.4 km from Hanamaki to the now-defunct Sennintōge Station (仙人峠駅).[2] The station began serving passengers from 15 May 1914.[1] The station was renamed Iwate-Kamigō on 10 February 1916.[1]
The line was nationalized in August 1936, becoming the Kamaishi Line.[2] The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987.[1]
