The castle was initially built by Kitabatake Chikafusa of the Kitabatake Clan in 1336, to serve as a base of operations for Emperor Go-Daigo's Southern Court during the conflict between the Northern and Southern Court known as the Nanboku-chō period. The castle was destroyed in the early Meiji period.
  Tamaru Town was created within Watarai District of Mie Prefecture with the establishment of the municipalities system on April 1, 1889.  It assumed its present name on April 10, 1955.
