Tsurumi Station opened on 15 October 1872 (the day after the line's official inauguration) as the sixth railway station in Japan, on the Government Railways' Tōkaidō Main Line. The Kawasaki–Tsurumi section was doubled in 1879. Freight handling began on 1 April 1898, and Keihin Line (today's Keihin-Tōhoku) electric trains started calling here on 20 December 1914. The privately held Tsurumi Rinkō Railway — today's Tsurumi Line — connected to a temporary stop in 1930 and to the present site on 23 December 1934; the company was nationalised in 1943. On 9 November 1963 the station was the site of the Tsurumi Train Disaster, one of the five worst postwar JNR accidents. The station passed to JR East at privatisation on 1 April 1987.

A clock on platform 4 bears a plaque reading 'Take care of yourselves — from the Tsurumi District repatriates, DPRK' — donated in 1959 by ethnic Korean residents who left Japan for North Korea from this station during the early repatriation programme.
