The Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway opened the station on 19 April 1847. It was taken over by the Great Northern Railway (Ireland) in 1883.
The Finn Valley Railway began Irish gauge (5 ft 3 in (1,600 mm)) services from this station to Stranorlar railway station from 7 September 1863. When this route was converted to 3 ft (914 mm) on 16 July 1894 the Donegal Railway Company built Strabane (CDR) railway station adjacent to the Great Northern Railway (Ireland) railway station. The two stations were linked by a footbridge.
It closed on 15 February 1965.[1]
The location is now occupied by an Asda car park.
