History
Tenma-cho is the third stop on the Hiroden Main Line to carry the name. A first Tenma-cho opened on 8 December 1912 at a different location when the line through this district came into service; that stop was closed and replaced around 1917 by the present (second) Tenma-cho, which was renamed Nishi-tenma-cho around 1922 when a separate Tenmabashi stop took the former position. The Tenmabashi stop in turn became the third Tenma-cho around 1929 before being abolished in May 1942. Service was suspended after the 6 August 1945 atomic bombing and resumed on the West Tenma-cho - Koi section on 9 August; on 9 September that year the stop reverted from Nishi-tenma-cho to its present Tenma-cho name. Station number M15 was assigned in October 1996 and changed to M14 on 3 August 2025.

Notes
The route name Tenma-cho has been carried by three separate Hiroden stops in this short stretch of the Main Line, with the present stop and the neighbouring Kanon-machi swapping names with one another between 1922 and 1945 as nearby boundary lines were redrawn.
