History
Tama-reien Station opened on 31 October 1916 as Tama Station (多磨駅) of the Keio Electric Tramway, the predecessor of the Keio Corporation, in the city of Fuchū, Tokyo. The station was renamed Shi-Kōen-bochi-mae Station (市公園墓地前駅) on 8 December 1932 in connection with the opening of Tama Cemetery, and renamed again to its present name Tama-reien Station on 1 May 1937. The Keio Electric Tramway was absorbed by Tokyo Kyūkō Dentetsu (the wartime "Dai-Tōkyū") on 31 May 1944, and Keio Teito Electric Railway was demerged on 1 June 1948, taking control of the station. A new bridge-form station building over the tracks was completed on 27 November 2010, when a south entrance was also added. Station numbering was introduced on 22 February 2013 when the station also became a Rapid stop on the revised timetable; it carries the number KO22.

Notes
The original "Tama Station" name was retired in 1932 but was revived in 2001 — applied to a different station, Seibu Tama Station on the Seibu Tamagawa Line, when that company's earlier "Tama-bochi-mae Station" was renamed.
