History

The station was unveiled as Zolitūde Station (German: Solitude) in 1894 to serve the inhabitants of the local area and to transport agricultural produce and was named after the nearby Zolitūde Manor. In 1928 the station was renamed Imanta, a name which the station bears today, except the period of the German occupation of Latvia during World War II, when the station was known as Riga-Solitude.

The original station building, with some repairs, stood until March 2012, when it was demolished in preparation for renovations to the platform due to safety concerns.^[2] Major renovation works and the construction of a new station building began in November 2015.^[3] In 2016, the new building was unveiled.^[4]
