The station was opened in 1848, it was not the town's first station. That was Forfar Playfield which opened in 1838, it was closed when the new station was opened. The station and line later became part of the Caledonian Railway and later still the LMSR.
The station was closed in 1967 along with most of the SMJR route for passenger traffic though the line remained open for freight until 1982.
