History
The station was opened by Prussian State Railways as Fellhammer on 15 August 1867, originally part of the historical Silesian Mountain Railway.[1] The Boguszów-Gorce Wschód–Mieroszów railway opened in 1878.[2]
After World War II, the area came under Polish administration. As a result, the station was taken over by Polish State Railways. It was renamed to Kuźnica Górska in 1945, then Kuźnice Świdnickie in 1946, and eventually to Boguszów Gorce Wschód in 1974. In 2016 the station was renamed to its modern name, Boguszów-Gorce Wschód. The name change only includes a hyphen.[3]
