Originally called Tŏgwŏn station (Chosŏn'gŭl: 덕원역; Hanja: 德源驛), the station, along with the rest of the Okp'yŏng–Wŏnsan section of the former Hamgyŏng Line, was opened by the Chosen Government Railway on 1 August 1915.[2] Also this station is the starting point of the Songdowŏn Line to Songdowŏn.
The station, which serves a seaside resort in Segil-dong, was opened on 23 September 2014. A ceremony was held to mark the occasion, with a Sŏngun Red Flag-class electric locomotive hauling the inaugural train.[3]
