The station opened on 20 October 1863 along with the section of the Tirrenica railway from Livorno to Follonica.

Lampo was a stray dog that came off a cargo train at Campiglia Marittima in August 1953, and was adopted, despite railway regulations, by the then stationmaster Elvio Barlettani.

After a few years, the regional management of the railway ordered the stationmaster to remove the dog.

Lampo was put on a cargo train to Naples, but amazingly managed to return.

The stationmaster wrote a book entitled Lampo, il cane viaggatore following the dog's death.
