Marugame Station opened on 23 May 1889 as a stop on the privately built Sanuki Railway, when the line from Kotohira reached the town. The Sanuki Railway's line was transferred to the Sanyo Railway in 1904, and the Sanyo Railway was nationalised on 1 December 1906. Freight handling ceased in 1982 and parcel handling in 1986, when the station was also added to the limited-express stopping pattern. JR Shikoku took over at the 1 April 1987 privatisation, and the station was relocated later that year on 2 October when the tracks and platforms were elevated. ICOCA service began on 1 March 2014. The station now stands roughly midway between Marugame Port, Marugame Castle, and Marugame City Hall.

Marugame entered a "friendship station" agreement with Nanao Station in Ishikawa on 13 May 1994.
