History

Because the station is close to Zhucun, it was named Zhu-cun station during planning and construction. In July 2025, the Guangzhou Municipal Transportation Bureau announced the preliminary station names for the first section of Line 13 Phase 2, and this station intends to maintain its current name. Since the Mandarin and Cantonese pronunciations of "Zhu-cun" are the same as those of Zhucun station on Line 21, it does not comply with the Guangzhou Metro Station Naming Conventions requirement of "not sharing the same name with other metro stations in the city or in the metro network interconnected with the city, and avoiding homophones, near-phonetics, and ambiguities". Some citizens suggested that the station be renamed Tianhe Zhucun similarly to Baiyun Dongping station. Eventually, in September 2025, it was officially renamed to Tianhe Zhucun station in accordance with the naming convention requirements.

To facilitate the construction of the station, the traffic management department has enclosing the auxiliary road of the Zhongshan Avenue Middle—Hulin Road viaduct from 22 January 2019. The main structure of the station has been capped in July 2021, and the underground tunnel has been built in March 2022. In July 2025, the station completed the "three rights" transfer. On 29 September 2025, the station opened.

At noon on 3 March 2021, a road subsidence occurred on the south side of the Zhongshan Avenue—Hulin Road overpass near the station construction site. No casualties were reported in the accident.
