The Boston and Lowell Railroad originally had no intermediate stations, but Wilmington petitioned for a stop as early as 1836.

[1] An early station building was constructed either for the Andover and Wilmington Railroad in 1835 or 1836, or for the B&L and B&M a decade later.

The station formerly had a single small side platform and no MBTA parking lot.

In 1998, the MBTA began planning a $5.2 million renovation which included longer accessible platforms and a 227-space parking lot.

[7][8][9] This routing was resumed in April 2021, with the trains no longer making the intermediate stops.
