The station was originally built in 1900 by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad. The Hartford Line commuter rail service will begin stopping in early 2018. Two high-level platforms connected by a pedestrian bridge are being installed for the service, and the station uilding is being fully renovated.

On April 25, 2016, a temporary platform was opened south of the station building so that the northbound high-level platform could be constructed on the site of the former low-level platform.
