The station opened as Limito in 1846 and was renamed in 1908 to its current name.

La Tribuna illustrata [it] issue from 10 December 1893, about the disaster of Limito.

In the early 2000s, with the quadrupling of the line and the launch of the suburban railway of Milan, the station was upgraded and expanded, becoming an interchange point between regional and suburban trains. The station also received a new passenger building, built next to the original one, dating from the construction of the line. The new passenger building was opened on 22 May 2011.

It became the location of the 25 January 2018 train derailment, which left two people dead and over 100 injured.^[3] Another, deadlier accident had taken place on November 28, 1893, with 40 people dead and 22 injured.
