Tokuan Station opened on 22 August 1895 when the Naniwa Railway opened its line between Shijōnawate and Katamachi. The line was transferred to the Kansai Railway in 1897 and nationalised in 1907, becoming part of the renamed Katamachi Line in 1913. In 1981 the existing footbridge was remodelled into an overhead station building, with Osaka City's Tsurumi Ward paying for the west exit and Higashiōsaka for the east. After privatisation in 1987 the station serves both JR West passenger trains and JR Freight, with operating responsibilities moved from Shijōnawate to Hanaten in 2008. Station numbering JR-H38 was introduced in March 2018.

The station itself stands in Higashiōsaka, but Osaka City's Tsurumi Ward begins immediately to the west and even gives the station its name; when the footbridge was remodelled into an overhead station building in 1981, the two municipalities split the cost — Tsurumi funded the west exit and Higashiōsaka the east.
