History
Tsuruma Station opened on 1 April 1929 on the Odakyū Enoshima Line as a stop on the through-running service between Shinjuku and Katase-Enoshima. When through services were abolished in June 1945, all local trains began calling here, and the station was added to the semi-express stopping pattern on 1 October 1946. A new elevated station building incorporating an east-west pedestrian passage opened on 18 October 1980, and a destination-information display was added on 3 August 2012. The station carries number OE 04. The station's name preserves the historical place name "Shimo-Tsuruma" of the old village that once occupied the site.

Notes
The 600-metre gap between Tsuruma and Minami-Rinkan is the shortest between any two adjacent stations on the entire Odakyū Enoshima Line, while the 2.5-kilometre gap to Yamato in the other direction is the longest.
