History

The station opened on 14 October 1931 on the Japanese Government Railway (JGR) Hokuriku Main Line. The station was closed on 1 November 1940 and reopened as "Sakata Station" on 10 December 1954 under the Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War II. The station came under the aegis of the West Japan Railway Company (JR West) on 1 April 1987 due to the privatization of JNR.

Station numbering was introduced in March 2018 with Tamura being assigned station number JR-A10.[1][2]
