History

James R. Evans was the station agent from the 1870s to turn of the 20th century.[4] Regular passenger train service for the train station ended in 1963, although shuttles from Mountain View remained until 1966.[5] Freight service to the station continued into the 1980s.

More recently, the station building was used as a clothing consignment shop, and later as a State Farm insurance office.
