Tsuda Station opened on 12 April 1898 as part of the Kansai Railway's extension between Shijonawate and Nagao. The line was nationalised on 1 October 1907 and folded into the Katamachi Line in November 1913. The current station building was completed on 1 October 1979 alongside the double-tracking between Nagao and Shijonawate, and was the first Japanese National Railways station in the Kansai region to be fitted with automatic fare gates. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR West, and the Gakkentoshi Line nickname was adopted the following March. Station numbering JR-H29 was assigned in March 2018.

Before World War II a dedicated freight branch ran from Tsuda to the Imperial Japanese Army's Kinya powder magazine; the right-of-way survives today as the Chūgū Peace Road pedestrian path.
