Futamatagawa Station opened on 12 May 1926 as part of the Jinchū Railway's initial Atsugi–Futamatagawa segment; gravel trains from the Sagami Railway (today's Sagami Line) at Samukawa were the principal early traffic. Electrification arrived in 1944, but a voltage mismatch meant trains could not run through the station for about two years. A footbridge station building was completed on 28 April 1964. The Izumino Line opened on 8 April 1976 with Futamatagawa as its origin, making the station a junction. On 28 May 1989 the platforms were rebuilt from two-platform-three-track to two-platform-four-track with a new turnback siding. From 2018 a major south-side redevelopment produced the COPRE Futamatagawa complex with the JOINUS TERRACE shopping centre opening on 27 April 2018, and the north-side Sōtetsu Life reopened as JOINUS TERRACE 3 on 6 October 2023.

Futamatagawa is the nearest station to the Kanagawa Prefectural Police Driver License Center, where the majority of Kanagawa drivers go for licence renewals — a fact reflected in the bus route Asahi 23, a dedicated loop service to the centre.
