Zama Station began operations on March 1, 1927 as Shin-Zama Station (新座間駅 Shin-Zama-eki). When the station started operating, the current Sōbudai-mae Station was named Zama Station, so the station was originally named Shin-Zama, or “New Zama Station”. On July 1, 1937, Odakyū planned to make an amusement park near the station, and renamed it Zama-Yūen Station (座間遊園駅). However, with the start of World War II in 1941, plans for the park were abandoned. The original Zama Station had been renamed to Sōbudai-mae Station by this time, so on October 15, 1941 Zama-Yūen Station was renamed Zama Station. It was promoted to a semi-express stop in 1946, and a commuter semi-express stop in 1960. The current station building was completed in 1978.
Zama Station has two side platforms serving two tracks, connected to the station building by overpasses. The station building is elevated, and is located above the tracks and platforms.
