Detohama Station began as the Deto Temporary Boarding Station (出戸仮乗降場) on 25 July 1950, serving the village of Tennō in Akita Prefecture, and was upgraded to a full Japanese National Railways (JNR) stop on the Oga Line as Detohama Station on 25 December 1951. Parcel handling ended and the station became unstaffed on 1 October 1970. JNR privatisation transferred operations to JR East on 1 April 1987. In June 1985 the old building was demolished and replaced by a converted freight-wagon shelter, which itself gave way to a new station building completed in February 2006. Management responsibility moved from Oiwake to Tsuchizaki on 1 April 2010, and Suica acceptance began on 27 May 2023.

For two decades from 1985 the station building was a re-purposed freight wagon, an interim structure between the demolition of the earlier station building and the completion of the present building in February 2006.
