It was opened by the Great Western Railway in 1906, on its line between Stratford-upon-Avon and Cheltenham. It closed in March 1960, though the line itself remained open until 1976. The track was later lifted.
From 1997 to 2001 the line was relaid by the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway (G-WR) through the station site and later reopened in 2003, though there are currently no plans to rebuild the station site, as of September 2016.
The Midland Railway also opened a station, called Cleeve, on the nearby Birmingham and Gloucester Railway in 1843.
