History
Kitakurihama Station opened on December 1, 1942 as a station on the Tokyu Shōnan Line. At that time, it was named {{nihongo|Shōnan Station|昭南駅|Shōnan-eki}}, using the same kanji as the war-time Japanese name for Singapore in celebration of the Japanese victory. On February 1, 1948, the station was renamed {{nihongo|Shōnan-ida Station|湘南井田駅|Shōnan-ida-eki}}, using the kanji for the Shōnan area of Japan. It became a station on the Keihin Electric Express Railway from June 1, 1948. The station was renamed to its present name on November 1, 1963. A new station building was completed in December 1985.
Keikyū introduced station numbering to its stations on 21 October 2010; Kitakurihama Station was assigned station number KK66.{{Cite web |date=25 June 2010 |title=京急線全駅にて駅ナンバリングを開始します |trans-title=Station numbering will be introduced to all stations on the Keikyu Line |url=https://www.keikyu.co.jp/company/news/2010/detail/001333.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140221145632/https://www.keikyu.co.jp/company/news/2010/detail/001333.html |archive-date=21 February 2014 |access-date=27 February 2023 |website=KEIKYU WEB}}
