History
Tamagawamura Station opened on 10 December 1922 as a Ministry of Railways station on the Suigun Line, taking its name from the former Tamagawa village in Naka District that has since been absorbed into Hitachiōmiya, Ibaraki. Freight handling was withdrawn in 1970 and parcel handling in June 1983, when CTC signalling was introduced on the Suigun Line and the station was unstaffed, with ticket sales delegated to a local authority. The station passed to JR East at the 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways. From October 1995 work began on a combined facility, and on 26 April 1996 the rebuilt single-storey wooden station building entered service alongside the integrated Tamagawamura Station Exchange Centre community hall.

Notes
Tamagawamura takes its name from the former Tamagawa village in Naka District, Ibaraki, but the Suigun Line also includes Kawanaberi and Izumigō stations that lie in the still-extant Tamagawa village in Fukushima's Ishikawa District, more than 80 operating kilometres away.
