The station initially opened on February 1, 1889, as Oyama Station (小山駅). It was renamed Suruga Station (駿河駅) on July 1, 1912. When the opening of the Tanna Tunnel diverted the route of the Tōkaidō Main Line south on December 1, 1934, Suruga Station became a station on the Gotemba Line. It was renamed Suruga-Oyama Station (the present name) on January 1, 1952. Operational control of the station was transferred to JR Central following privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987.
Suruga-Oyama Station has been unstaffed since 2012.[1]
Station numbering was introduced to the Gotemba Line in March 2018; Suruga-Oyama Station was assigned station number CB08.[2][3]
