[1] Villalegre Station was opened in 1890, just 20 days after works on the railway connection between Villabona and San Xuan were completed by Norte.

[2][3][4] The original Villalegre station consisted of a large wooden building with an adjoining house for the worker who raised and lowered the gate at the nearby railway crossing.

As well as being used by commuters working in the industrial area, it originally played an important role in the transport of goods unloading logs and beetroot for the local factories and loading coal bound for San Xuan to be exported by ship.

[5] In 1941, the new Francoist regime nationalised all the Iberian gauge railways in Spain and Norte's assets into the newly formed Renfe.

[8] In 2005, Adif became the owner of the infrastructure and the management of railway lines that were part of RENFE, which became a mere operator.
