History

Minami-Tama Station traces its origins to the Ōmaru halt opened on 11 November 1927 as the Nambu Railway extended west from Noborito, terminating roughly 300 metres towards Kawasaki from the present site. It was renamed Tama-Seiseki-guchi in 1931, then on 14 September 1939 was absorbed by the freight Minami-Tamagawa Station, which relocated to the present site and was renamed Minami-Tama. The Nambu Railway was nationalised on 1 April 1944, the station becoming part of the Ministry of Transport and Communications' Nambu Line, and it passed to JR East at the 1987 privatisation. The down line was elevated on 24 December 2011, the up line on 23 December 2013, and smart platform doors entered service on 6 March 2024.

Notes

The current station opened in 1939 when the existing Nambu Railway freight stop "Minami-Tamagawa" absorbed the small passenger halt Tama-Seiseki-guchi and the merged operation moved to the present site under the new name.
