Minatochō Station opened on 21 March 1932 as a temporary stop on the Keihin Electric Railway. It was the predecessor to the current Keihin Electric Express Railway. Initially it was located 300 metres (980 ft) further away from Keikyū Kawasaki Station than the present location. It renamed to its present name on February 1, 1944. On October 18, 1956, the station was moved to its present address. In April 1977, the former level crossing was eliminated by the completion of an overpass.
Keikyū introduced station numbering to its stations on 21 October 2010; Minatochō Station was assigned station number KK21.[1]
