The station was opened on 1 June 1866 and is located on the Harlingen–Nieuweschans railway between Leeuwarden and Groningen.

Train services are operated by Arriva.

The station was called Veenwouden (the Dutch name for the village) until 12 December 2015 when it was renamed Feanwâlden.

This is to reflect the Frisian name of the town, which was changed in 2009.
