The station opened in 1977 and is located between Hoorn and Enkhuizen.

The station was originally opened to serve visitors to the annual "Westfriese Flora" flower fair held there, which is why Flora is included in the name.

In 1999 an outbreak of legionellosis occurred during the flower fair which caused at least 32 deaths.

The fair was renamed the "Holland Flower Festival" in 2003 and was relocated to Zwaagdijk-Oost in 2005.
