The original 1899 station, built by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad still stands.

[9] The former segment of Springfield Avenue on the opposite side of the tracks has been turned into an additional parking lot.

The station was originally named West Summit until March 1927, as the borough of New Providence felt there was confusion for not being on railroad timetables.

The station was renamed over the opposition of Summit residents.
