The inauguration of the station took place on 6 March 1904, along with the construction of the first 121 kilometres (75 mi) of the line, when an official dinner for 400 people was given on its premises, with the presence of three warships, one English, one French and one Greek.

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.

In 2008, the reconstruction of the station began in the context of the modernization of the Athens Suburban Railway network and its electric mobility.

In 2009, with the Greek debt crisis unfolding OSE's Management was forced to reduce services across the network.
