The station was first opened in 1850, and operated until 1968; an 1850 station building was replaced in 1887 by a new building, which was demolished after the 1968 closure and lifting of railway lines.
The Scottish Executive funded a replacement railway line between Stirling and Alloa in the early 2000s, and the station was reopened on Monday, 19 May 2008.[2]
