[2] The station was originally built by British-owned Buenos Aires Great Southern Railway in 1908, helping tourists reach the cities on the Atlantic coast such as Ostende,[3] the first town established in region currently known as Pinamar Partido,[4][5] and then Villa Gesell.

[5] After the nationalization process carried out by the Juan Perón's administration in 1948,[6] the station became part of the General Roca Railway, managed by state-owned Ferrocarriles Argentinos.

Despite the progress of railway in the province of Buenos Aires, livestock producers from regions close to the Atlantic Coast had to travel long distances to Maipú or other stations to transport their goods.

One of those farmers, Benjamín Zubiaurre, sold part of his lands to allow BAGSR to build a branch from the line to Mar del Plata in order to make distances shorter.

In 1949, a new branch was built by state-owned Ferrocarriles Argentinos from General Madariaga to the city of Pinamar including a new station,[10] placed where today stays a park, on Av.
