The station was opened by the Dundee & Newtyle Railway in 1837. This station closed in 1847 but was re-opened the following year by the Scottish Midland Junction Railway. In the late 1850s a branch line was built as far as Blairgowrie. The branch line was closed in 1965, though passenger traffic had stopped in the mid-1950s.
Coupar Angus itself was closed in 1967.
