The Portadown, Dungannon and Omagh Junction Railway opened the station on 5 April 1858.[1] On 2 September 1861, the station was relocated as the line was extended to Omagh railway station[2] completing the Portadown – Derry railway route that came to be informally called "The Derry Road".[3]
In 1876 it was taken over by the Great Northern Railway[4] and built a branch line from Dungannon to Cookstown in 1879.[2]
It closed on 15 February 1965.[5]
