The station was opened by the Crewe & Shrewsbury Railway in 1858 and later became part of the London & North Western Railway. In 1862 the Nantwich & Markey Drayton Railway reached the town turning the station into a junction, this became part of the Great Western Railway later on. Nantwich had GWR services heading though it, running over LNWR metals north of Nantwich. The Market Drayton line was closed in 1967.
The station is now unstaffed, the level crossings near the station are now monitored remotely from south Wales. Nantwich is now on the Welsh Marshes Line and is managed and served by Transport for Wales. Access between the platforms is via a footbridge on the road and level crossing at the end of the platforms.
