The station opened on February 1, 1901 as Sawada Station (沢田駅). Later the name was changed to Gakkō-ura Station (学校裏駅), meaning "behind the school". The present name Heiwajima was given 1 September 1961. The platforms were moved to the elevated tracks in 1970.[1]

Keikyu introduced station numbering to its stations on 21 October 2010; Heiwajima was assigned station number KK08.[2]
