Initially this station was an extension of the Jakarta–Kedunggedeh railway line which had been built by the Bataviasche Oosterspoorweg Maatschappij (BOS)[3] in 1887, as the Kedunggedeh–Karawang segment which opened on 20 March 1898.

[5] The development of this station is recorded by De Stoomtractie op Java en Sumatra book by J.J.G.

[8] However, this line was decommissioned in 1981–1984 because it was unable to compete with private cars or road-based public transportation, as well as access to the station via an easier road without using trams anymore.

The old station, located in the Dewi Sartika Shopping complex, was not used and was torn down.

In 2022, a canopy has been built at this station to cover the platforms for lines 1 to 3 so that passengers will no longer get too hot or caught in the rain while waiting for or getting on and off trains.
