The station was opened on 5 November 1860 by the Symington, Biggar and Broughton Railway.

A second track was laid, which meant that a footbridge and a second platform were built as well as a waiting room.

The goods yard later formed part of Cuthbertson's engineering works.

The station was closed on 5 June 1950,[1] although it continued to be used for schools until 14 August of the same year.
