The Minneapolis and St. Louis Railroad began laying tracks into Aberdeen in 1906, and the first passenger train, the Aberdeen Limited, arrived on September 1, 1907. Passenger service to the station lasted until 1949. In 1968, the old station became the Depot Club. In 2016, the station was renovated and became an architecture office.[1][2]
