The station was opened on 29 October 1902 on the Hell–Sunnan Line between Hell Station and Levanger Station as the section to Levanger was finished. It was designed by Paul Due and was built with a surrounding park. The present station with two platforms is located a few hundred meters away from the old station, and the old station building was taken out of service.[2][3]
