Holsted railway station opened on 3 October 1874 as one of the original intermediate stations on the Lunderskov–Esbjerg railway line. [2] The station opened approximately 2 km south of the original village of Holsted, located by the Holsted River and the highway between Kolding and Varde. After the opening of the railway line, a railway town developed around the station. The village and the railway town have subsequently gradually grown together.
