Hunter was a former station on the Hunter Branch of the Ulster and Delaware Railroad (U&D) and was the busiest station on the branch lines of the U&D.

Within several yards of the station were the Standard Oil Co. and the Otto Gordon Coal Co.

The village of Hunter, which the station serviced, was also home to several popular resorts.

The station was built in 1882, and was the last station to be built by the narrow-gauge Stony Clove & Catskill Mountain Railroad.
