The station opened as Lennoxtown on 5 July 1848 as Lennoxtown by the North British Railway. It had a trainshed on the east side and a goods yard which was on both sides of the approaching line.

This station remained open until 1 October 1881[1] when it was converted into a goods yard. More loading banks were installed where the station used to be. One siding served Lennoxmill Print Works.
