The station was inaugurated on 12 July 1870 at the opening of the Castagnole-Asti-Mortara railway, whose exercise was ceded by the State to the Society for Railways of Upper Italy (SFAI) under the law of reform of 1865 in the meantime intervened[1].
According to the law "Baccarini" of 27 April 1885, the concession was transferred in that year to the Company for the Ferrate Roads of the Mediterranean, with services armies from the Mediterranean Network, and then passed in 1905 to the newly-constituted Railways of the State.
At the end of the 20th century, the station, private of the intersectional track[2], was transformed into a stop[3].
After operating in 2001 at Rete Ferroviaria Italiana, on September 6, 2010 the service was interrupted between Asti and Mortara, due to structural failures of the gallery at Ozzano Monferrato[4][5], placing the entire line at risk of closure[6].
Considered the heavy economic-financial situation of the Region Piemonte, which unlike the neighbouring Lombardy did not intend to start a program of valorization of the transport on iron, in 2012[7] the same decreed the suspension of service contracts on numerous secondary lines of own competence, leading to the definitive suspension of traffic[8][9] and on the Chestnuts-Asti[10] that on the Asti-Mortara[4].
On 11 November 2018 the station was reinaugurated to the passage of a historical train of Fondazione FS Italiane, on occasion of the reopening of the route Asti-Chestnuts-Canelli-Nizza Monferrato[11]. On 11 September 2023 passenger service was restored with 12 daily trains on the stretch Asti-Dawn
