The station replaced a flag stop at Cold Brook Bridge and became the primary station for Boiceville on June 8, 1913, when the railroad abandoned the alignment and station through Boiceville for construction of the Ashokan Reservoir.^[4][5] The Ulster and Delaware commenced construction on a new station depot in June 1915.^[2] Construction was completed c. September 1915.^[3]

The New York Central Railroad ended passenger service on the Catskill Mountain Branch on March 31, 1954, and despite being given permission to demolish the station in April 1955, the station continues to stand.^[1][6] The station is also an access point for the Ashokan Rail Trail, a rail trail runs from Cold Brook to West Hurley.^[7]
