The station was opened by the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction Railway in 1848 on the seaward end of a pier. The station served Humber ferries which travelled to Hull and other destinations such as Immingham and Cleethorpes. The pier and station was destroyed by a fire in 1895 but both were rebuilt. The station was rebuilt again in the 1920s.
When the Humber Bridge was opened in 1981 the ferry service ceased and New Holland Pier railway station was closed. It and the previous station on the line New Holland Town were replaced by a new New Holland station in 1981.
