The station opened in 1918 and was the temporary terminus of the extension of the railway line to Samford, [1] until further extensions reached Kobble Creek in 1919 and Dayboro in 1920. [3] The station remained in service for 37 years, until it was closed in 1955 following the line's closure beyond Ferny Grove.
