History
editThe station was opened by the Korean State Railway in 1976 to serve the Namhŭng Youth Chemical Complex opened that year,[2] located just east of Namhŭng station, which is extensively served by rail.
Between 2006 and 2010, the station's tracks were electrified, and around 2009 a servicing facility for the diesel locomotives used to shunt the yard and move cars between the station and the chemical plant were built here.[3]
