The railway station was inaugurated on 17 November 1886, under the name Gara Mogoșoaia. Traditionally, the railway station is used for the Royal departures and arrivals in the Royal Train; recently, on 16 December 2017, this was the departure point for King Michael I's funeral train to the Royal necropolis in Curtea de Argeș.
