It was opened in July 1894 by the GNSR and served a suburb of Aberdeen near Duthie Park and Allenvale Cemetery.

The station was opened on 2 July 1894[1] and was part of a new Aberdeen suburban service on a section of the Deeside branch.

The line became part of the GNSR who opened Holburn Street and at grouping the company merged with the London and North Eastern Railway.

In 1906 the Royal Train called here and King Edward VII disembarked to join the procession leading to Marischal College for the opening ceremony.
