The station was opened by the Carnarvonshire Railway in 1869 on it's line from
Caernarfon to
Afon Wen, though only for fairs and markets, the station being some distance from the village of Llangybi. The station became part of the London North Western Railway in 1870 and from 1872 had services every day. The station originally had a single platform but in 1915 gained a second when a passing loop was built at Llangybi. The platforms were rebuilt out of concrete just after the Second World War.
Although the line was fairly busy during the Summer due to holiday traffic, during the Winter months it was very quiet. The line was a victim of the Beeching Report and Llangybi, along with the rest of the line, closed in 1964. The former station building survives as a private dwelling.
