The original Bethel station opened in 1852 on the Danbury and Norwalk Railroad.

The original station building eventually burned down on December 15, 1898, as a result of an overheated stove.

[4] The station has a five-car-long high-level side platform to the east of the single track.

The station building is open during rush hours and has a bakery, seating area, and restroom, but no ticket machines.
