Awa-Kawabata Station was opened by the privately run Awa Railway as Kawabata Stop on 15 July 1927. After the Awa Railway was nationalized on 1 July 1933, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over control of the station. It was renamed Awa-Kawabata Station and was operated as part of the Awa Line. On 20 March 1935, the station became part of the Kōtoku Main Line. With the privatization of JNR (the successor of JGR) on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[6][7]
In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 154 passengers daily[8]
