Due to the mountainous terrain of the land, the railway was not built within the city of Yozgat. The station has become the realization of the Turkish State Railways' 70-year-old plan to build a railway line to Yozgat as the original railway was planned to be built from Yerköy to Yozgat in 1948.[1]
