The station, originally called Hamnam Sinhŭng station, was opened on 1 October 1926 by the Sinhŭng Railway as part of the 15.1 km (9.4 mi) third section of its Hamnam Line between P'ungsang and here. The Sinhŭng Railway was bought and absorbed by the Chosen Railway on 22 April 1938. [2] It received its current name after the establishment of the DPRK.
