Tachima Station opened on 2 July 1941 as part of the then Uwajima Line, which ran between Uwajima and Unomachi under Japanese Government Railways. The line was joined with the Yosan Main Line when track from Yawatahama linked through Unomachi on 20 June 1945, and Tachima accordingly became a Yosan Main Line stop. Freight handling ended on 15 November 1982 — until then the station had been a regular shipping point for Tachima mandarin oranges — and the station was unstaffed under a contracted-agent arrangement on 3 March 1986. At the 1 April 1987 privatisation control passed to JR Shikoku and JR Freight, the latter losing its station status on 1 April 2006.

Shōwa Emperor Hirohito stopped at Tachima twice on imperial tours: the post-war jūnkō on 20 March 1950, where his train ran Yawatahama–Tachima, and a 1966 visit for the 17th National Tree-Planting Festival with Empress Kōjun, running Matsuyama–Tachima.
