The station was built on the Ferrocarril Panamericano, a line that, since 1908, connected the towns on the coast of Chiapas and Soconusco. The line also connects the Ferrocarril Transístmico with Guatemala.[2] As a result of the arrival of the railway to Villa Comaltitlán, the old town (Spanish: Pueblo Viejo) was abandoned and a new town, Pueblo Nuevo Comaltitlán (renamed to Villa Comaltitlán in 1960), was founded.[3]
Service on the Ixtepec–Ciudad Hidalgo Line, including Villa Comaltitlán, stopped in 2005, due to Hurricane Stan.[4] However, since 2023, this station is currently being renovated, as part of K Line, a plan to restore passenger rail service from Ixtepec to Ciudad Hidalgo.[5] As a result, as of October 2023, traders that were previously located near the tracks were preparing to relocate away from the line.[4]
