History

The station opened on 11 July 1887 as a national railway station, when the line was extended between old Yokohama and Kōzu. A private line (専用線) began operating on 15 May 1898. The Hiratsuka Branch opened on 1 July 1906. On 12 October 1909 the station was placed on the Tōkaidō Line. On 1 September 1923 the Kanto earthquake (関東大震災) collapsed the Bamba River railway bridge on the Chigasaki side. The Hiratsuka Branch closed on 1 April 1924.

A west exit opened on 1 April 1959. On 25 September 1971 passenger and freight work was separated, and freight handling moved to the new Sagami freight station (相模貨物駅). The Midori ticket window opened on 1 April 1972. Luggage handling ended on 1 November 1986. On 1 April 1987 the station became part of JR East.

Suica became usable on 18 November 2001. Ekisuto Shonan Hiratsuka (エキスト湘南平塚) opened on 12 December 2003 and was later called the south annex of Lasca Hiratsuka (ラスカ平塚南館). The north square was made barrier-free on 5 July 2009. The west exit got an elevator on 31 October 2013. On 5 July 2013 the children's song 'Tanabata-sama' (たなばたさま) became the departure melody, the second station on the JR East part of the Tokaido Line to get a local melody, after Shinagawa Station.

Lasca Hiratsuka (ラスカ平塚) was renewed on 12 June 2014 and completed on 26 June 2014. A travel centre opened on 2 July 2014. The station building was renewed again around 28 March 2019, and the Viewplaza (びゅうプラザ) closed on 31 August 2019.

On 6 July 2026 the north side down escalator was completed, which moved barrier-free access on the north side forward.
