Tachikawa Station opened on 11 April 1889 as the western terminus of the Kōbu Railway's first Shinjuku section, with the line extending to Hachiōji on 11 August 1889. The Ōme Railway joined on 19 November 1894 and the Nambu Railway on 11 December 1929. The Kōbu line was nationalised in 1906 and folded into the Chūō East line in 1909, renamed Chūō Main Line from 1911. Through-electric service reached Tachikawa on 16 June 1929. JNR replaced the buildings with an elevated complex on 2 October 1982 when the WILL station-tower (today's Lumine) opened, and the station passed to JR East on 1 April 1987.

On 4 January 1964 a US-military tank wagon ran out of control and crashed into Tachikawa Station, exploding there; the burnt-out site was later built over by the Daiichi Depāto department store.
