A halt named Pwllheli Road existed here on the horse-drawn Nantlle Railway from 1856 to 12 June 1865.[4]From the outset timetables appeared regularly in the "Carnarvon & Denbigh Herald"[10] and in Bradshaw from October 1856.[11] It was obliterated when the standard gauge railway and station were built.[12]
The station opened on 2 September 1867, also as "Pwllheli Road".[6] It was renamed "Llanwnda" in 1877 and closed with the line in December 1964.[13][14]
When the Penygroes By-pass was built in 1999–2000 the site of the station was obliterated by a roundabout where the A487 and A499 meet.
