The Station opened on 8 March 1904, in what was then the Central Greece on what was a branch line of the Piraeus, Demerli & Frontiers Railway.

During the Axis occupation of Greece (1941–44), Athens was controlled by German military forces and the line used for the transport of troops and weapons.

The track and rolling stock replacement took time following the civil war, with normal service levels resumed around 1948.

On 1 January 1971, the station and most of the Greek rail infrastructure was transferred to the Hellenic Railways Organisation S.A., a state-owned corporation.

Freight traffic declined sharply when the state-imposed monopoly of OSE for the transport of agricultural products and fertilisers ended in the early 1990s.
