History
The station opened on April 15, 1913 when Keiō Electric Railway opened its first section between {{STN|Sasazuka|x}} and Chōfu as an Interurban.{{Cite web|url=http://www.keio.co.jp/100th/historytimeline.html|title=京王の電車・バス開業100周年年表|author=Keio Corporation|accessdate=April 29, 2014}}
=Recent development=
Until 2012, Chofu Station was on the ground level and had busy grade crossings at either end for road traffic, while trains arriving from the Keio Sagamihara Line blocked both lines of the Keio Line as they enter the station. Keio Corporation resolved both these issues by grade separating the railway lines around the station area. Underground tracks opened on August 19, 2012.{{cite news|url=http://sankei.jp.msn.com/life/news/120819/trd12081911130002-n1.htm|script-title=ja:京王電鉄２区間が地下線で運転開始 調布駅付近で切り替え工事完了|date=August 19, 2012|publisher=MSN Sankei News|accessdate=August 19, 2012|language=Japanese|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120823152057/http://sankei.jp.msn.com/life/news/120819/trd12081911130002-n1.htm|archive-date=August 23, 2012|url-status=dead}}
