History
Tsurumi-Ono Station opened on 8 December 1936 as Kōgyōgakkō-mae Stop ("in front of the industrial school") on the privately operated Tsurumi Rinkō Railway, serving passengers only. When the Tsurumi Rinkō line was nationalised on 1 July 1943, the stop was elevated to full station status and given its present name, partly to scrub identifiable place names during wartime as a counter-espionage measure. The station has been unstaffed since 1 March 1971 and was transferred to JR East upon the 1987 privatisation of the Japanese National Railways. Suica was introduced on 22 March 2002, and the on-platform ticket machine was retired on 28 February 2022.

Notes
Although a single station, the up and down platforms have separate station buildings on opposite sides of an adjacent level crossing, and there is no in-station passage between them.
