The Salvation Army's work in Tanzania, formerly known as Tanganyika, commenced in Tabora, in November 1933, as part of the East Africa Territory under the leadership of Adjutant and Mrs Francis Dare. In 1950, following a request for assistance from the Colonial Governor, the Army set up operations at Mgulani Camp, where the Tanzania Territorial Headquarters is now located.

Tanzania became a separate command on 1 October 1998 and following significant growth, was elevated to territory status on 1 February 2008.
