The station was opened by the Tomun Railway Company on 1 December 1922, together with the rest of the Sŏngp'yŏng Line as well as the SangsambongChongsŏng section of their mainline from Hoeryŏng to Tonggwanjin. On 1 April 1929 the Tomun Railway was nationalised and became the West Tomun Line of the Chosen Government Railway.[2]
