[3] The station is located on Ga'aton Boulevard (Hebrew: שדרות הגעתון, romanized: Sderot HaGe'aton),[1] Nahariya's main street along the Ga'aton River, near the main entrance to the city from the coastal highway ( Highway 4) and across the street from the city's central bus station.

The service was then suspended during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War (1947-1949), and resumed in June 1950 with 2 daily passenger trains to Haifa and back.

The terror attack was executed, for the first time in the current conflict, by an Arab-Israeli who was sent by Hamas and detonated himself on the crowded platform, killing 3 Israelis and injuring 94.

[5] Train service to the station was completely suspended, for the first time since 1952, on July 13, 2006, the day after the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict began, due to the Hezbollah rocket attacks on Nahariya.

This work was carried out as part of the double tracking project of the Coastal Railway between Akko (Acre) and Nahariya (previously the last remaining single-track portion of Israel Railways' main line) and allows accommodating the increased train service to the station which started in the summer of 2014.
