The Belfast and Ballymena Railway (BBR) opened the station on 10 November 1856[1] as the terminus of an extension to their existing Randalstown branch line.

In 1879, the Great Northern Railway (GNR) reached Cookstown by way of Dungannon and Stewartstown.

The Italianate station building, designed by Charles Lanyon, is made of sandstone.

Two further NCC railway buildings survive in Cookstown, with the red-brick Stationmaster's house built in 1910 and 1897-built lamp shed also being listed.
