The station was opened by the Solway Junction Railway in 1870. The station was a request stop with a single platform and a wooden shelter and was never heavily used. The station has a single goods siding. Next to the station was a level crossing, which was later controlled by a signal box.
The station's passenger service was suspended in 1917 as a wartime economy measure. Although it was reinstated in 1920, passenger services stopped again the following year and the line was closed.
