The Tamagawa Josui, an artificial waterway completed in 1653 to divert water from the Tama River and carry it as drinking water to Edo, begins in Hamura.

On April 1, 1889, several villages (one of which was named Hane-mura) merged to form Nishitama Village in Nishitama District, at that time part of Kanagawa Prefecture.

On April 1, 1893, Nishitama District was transferred to Tokyo Prefecture.

In 1956, it became the town of Hamura, Nishitama District.

On November 1, 1991, it became a city.

Several companies have light industrial or logistical facilities in Hamura. Hino Motors and Toyota have a plant and test track in the city.

The J-Pop singing duet "Cazacy" calls Hamura home.
