History
Cicalengka Station was opened on 10 September 1884, along with the completion of the fifth fase of the Priangan railway line construction. After that, the state railway company Staatsspoorwegen began to extend the line towards Garut in the east.
In the 1930s, the Dutch colonial government planned to build a branch line from Cicalengka to Majalaya Station to form a loop line orbiting the Priangan region. Construction had started, but due to a monetary crisis and Japanese occupation of the colony, the project had to be cancelled. Currently, only railbed in some spots are still remaining on the line.[3]
