History
The station opened on November 1, 1936.[1] After that, in the 1960s, as the city of Daejeon expanded, this place also became part of the downtown area of Daejeon, and since then, the size of the station and the number of users have increased significantly.
At the end of March 1978, as the double track between Daejeonjochajang station and Seodaejeon Station was completed, the Honam Line train passed through Seodaejeon Station without passing through Daejeon Station. After that, with the promotion of Daejeon City to the metropolitan city, the construction of Dusan New Town, the destruction of Yuseong, and the hosting of the Taejon Expo '93 in 1993, the number of passengers increased and it became a station that stopped until Saemaeul-ho.
KTX trains on the normal speed Honam Line began services on April 1, 2004.
