History
Haijima Station opened on 19 November 1894 with the Ōme Railway's Tachikawa-to-Ōme inaugural service, offering both passenger and freight handling from a 16-tsubo wooden depot. The Itsukaichi Railway reached Haijima in May 1925 and was extended south from Tachikawa in 1930, joined a year later by the Hachikō Line in 1931. Wartime nationalisation in April 1944 brought the two private railways under state control as the Ōme and Itsukaichi lines, and in May 1968 the Seibu Haijima Line reached the north side. The station passed to JR East and JR Freight on 1 April 1987, the Hachikō Line was electrified between Hachiōji and Komagawa on 16 March 1996, and the present elevated station building was completed in March 2010.

Notes
An industrial branch line from the station supplies fuel to Yokota Air Base, and a low-cost three-bar lifting platform-edge gate was trialled on Hachikō Line platform 5 from March 2015.
