The original station was built in 1871 as the new northern terminus of the Adirondack Railway, soon after the line had been purchased by the Union Pacific Railroad.

The railroad served the garnet mining and tanning industries in North Creek.

[3] The station served as the northern terminus of the Saratoga and North Creek Railway from 2011 to 2018, when the railroad ceased operation.

Another part of the complex continues to serve as the North Creek Depot Museum.
