The station was opened on 29 October 1902 on the Hell–Sunnan Line as the section to Levanger was finished. There was at the time of construction a controversy as to whether the station should be in the western or eastern part of town.[2][3][4] Operation of the restaurant was run by Norsk Spisevognselskap between 1 October 1934 and 8 May 1945.[5]
