Railway traffic started in 1862 when the Western Main Line between the two largest cities of Sweden opened for traffic reached the place, with traffic all the way same year.[5] In 1866 the first part of the Southern Main Line from Katrineholm to Norrköping, later towards Malmö, was put into operation.[6]
The station building is originally from 1862 but has been added to a few times, especially 1915.[7][dead link] Katrineholm is a railway town, created based on its location at a railway junction. The present town location was countryside before the railway construction.[8][9] The name Katrineholm comes from a nearby major farm with this name located 2 km (1+1⁄2 miles) northwest of the railway station.[9]
