History

Iyo-Kameoka Station opened on 21 June 1925 as an intermediate stop when the then Sanyo Line was extended westwards from Ōnishi to Kikuma. At that time the station was operated by Japanese Government Railways, later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.^[7]^[8]
