Kameyama Station opened on 25 December 1890 with the Kansai Railway's extension from Tsuge to Yokkaichi. The Kansai Railway was nationalised on 1 October 1907 and the line became part of the Kansai Main Line under the 1909 line-name regulations. The current (second) station building was completed on 3 November 1913. Through the JNR era Kameyama was a major railway hub with engine, carriage, and signal depots employing nearly a thousand staff. The Iseji-shortcut Ise Line opened in 1973 diverted most express traffic away, and after the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station became the boundary between JR Central and JR West — with JR Central handling station operations. The last regular limited-express, the Kii, was withdrawn in 1984; the express Kasuga, the last through service between the two JR companies, was discontinued on 18 March 2006, after which every regular train terminates at Kameyama. ICOCA / TOICA support arrived on the Nagoya side on 2 March 2019 and on the Kamo (JR West) side on 13 March 2021.

Among the nine JR Central conventional-line stations that lie on a boundary with another JR company, Kameyama is the only one where JR Central — rather than the connecting company — manages the station, a legacy of its transfer from the Tennoji to the Nagoya Railway Management Bureau on 1 March 1987 just before privatisation.
