Railroad service at Woodbury station began on April 14, 1857 with the opening of the West Jersey Railroad between Camden and Woodbury. The current depot opened in 1883, designed in Stick style architecture. Service on the line to Penns Grove ended on July 8, 1950. Salem service ended on December 30 that same year. The final remaining passenger service (Camden–Millville) ended on February 5, 1971. The station depot currently serves as a restaurant.
Restoration of service at Woodbury station is proposed as part of the Glassboro–Camden Line, a light rail operation between the two eponmyous cities.
