History
The station opened on September 1, 1902 as {{nihongo|Kawasaki Station|川崎駅}} as a station on the privately owned Keihin Electric Railway. It was renamed {{nihongo|Keihin Kawasaki Station|京浜川崎駅}} on November 1, 1925 to avoid confusion with the nearby JGR Kawasaki Station. The tracks were elevated in May 1966. The station was renamed Keikyū Kawasaki on 1 June 1987.
Keikyū introduced station numbering to its stations on 21 October 2010; Keikyū Kawasaki Station was assigned station number KK20.{{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}}
