The station was named Tattenhall Road in 1872 to distinguish it from another Tattenhall railway station, a little to the west of the village, on the Whitchurch and Tattenhall Railway branch line to Whitchurch.

The station took back the name Tattenhall when the branch line closed in 1957. It was then itself closed in 1966.^[1] The station building still exists, now as a private house.
