History

[edit]

Kenritsudaigaku Station was opened on April 1, 1930 as Yokosuka-kōgō Station (横須賀公郷駅, Yokosuka-kōgō-eki) on the Shōnan Electric Railway. The Shōnan Electric Railway merged with the Keihin Electric Railway on November 1, 1941 and became the Keihin Electric Express Railway from June 1, 1948. The station was renamed Keihin Yasuura Station (京浜安浦駅, Keihin-Yasuura-eki) on November 1, 1961, and Keikyū Yasuura Station (京急安浦駅, Keikyū-Yasuura-eki) on June 1, 1987. It assumed its present name from February 1, 2004. The station building was rebuilt in April 2005.

Keikyū introduced station numbering to its stations on 21 October 2010; Kenritsudaigaku Station was assigned station number KK60.[1]
