Tamaru Station opened on 31 December 1893 as a stop on the privately operated Sangū Railway between Tsu and Miyagawa. The line was nationalized on 1 October 1907 and assigned to the Sangū Line by the 1909 Railway Line Nomenclature. A single-storey wooden station building was completed around 1912, and a footbridge was added in January 1983. Parcels handling was discontinued on 21 December 1983, and the station was destaffed on 1 October 2012 after years operated under contract by Tōkai Kōtsū Jigyō. At the 1 April 1987 privatization of JNR it passed to the Central Japan Railway Company. The 1912 building was demolished in 2023, and in April 2024 a community facility that doubles as the station building was completed. The station is scheduled to begin accepting TOICA in spring 2027. It is the only railway station within Tamaki Town.

Tamaru's wooden 1912 station building, with its calligraphy-painted name sign and red pillars, served as the location for the closing scene of Yasujirō Ozu's 1959 film "Floating Weeds" (Ukigusa).
