History

On 1 February 1901, the station was opened as Yawata Station (八幡駅) when the Keihin Electric Railway extension line from Kawasaki to Ōmori Teishajōmae (by Ōmori Station) commenced the service. On 8 May 1904, the main line was extended from this station, concurrently renamed as Kaigan Station (海岸駅), to Shinagawa, making the station a junction of the main line and a branchline to Ōmori Teishajōmae. The branchline was active until 8 March 1937.

The current station name Ōmorikaigan is from 1 July 1933. On 1 December 1970, the work to move the station to the elevated line was completed.

Keikyu introduced station numbering to its stations on 21 October 2010; Ōmorikaigan was assigned station number KK07.
