The station was built in 1907 by the then Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway (now the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission), but it burned down two years later and was subsequently rebuilt.

Circa 1907, the station could be reached from Toronto via Pullman coach equipped trains.

The trains would leave Toronto in the evening and reach Temagami early the next morning.

[2] The station housed the office, telegraph and signal equipment, ticket counters and washrooms, and two waiting rooms.

[3] In 2024, a contract was let to build a new enclosed shelter adjacent to the 1907 station to provide a waiting area for passengers.
