The station was originally constructed in 1905 in a wooden building architectural style and started its operation in 1908.

In 1917, it was rebuilt as a red brick structure with Renaissance architectural style.

The ceremony was attended by President Tsai Ing-wen and Transportation and Communication Minister Hochen Tan.

The architecture dates from the era of Japanese rule, and is classified as a National Tier 2 Historic Site.

The now-defunct Taiwan Sugar Railways' Zhong-Zhuo line once stopped at the station.
