The station opened in 1874 in the composition of the starting area MelitopolSimferopol. In 1892, the station became a hub.

The railway junction was twice destroyed during the Civil and Great Patriotic wars. In the 2006-2007 the station was renovated and divided into two parts: the commuter station and the main. Suburban station was built from scratch using high platforms (to stop the trains) and turnstile system. After the reconstruction of the building and the area of the main station — the place has become popular among residents.[5]
