The station was opened by the Alyth Railway in 1861, the final stop on a branch line from Alyth Junction (with two intermediate stops). The station later became part of the Caledonian Railway and it's successors. Although traffic on the line was good early on, the population of Alyth declined over time and so did traffic and the need for the railway. Alyth and the branch line were closed for passenger traffic by British Railways in 1951 though the line did remain open until 1965.
