Work on the proposed Paeroa–Pōkeno Line commenced in 1938, and whilst approximately 13 km of earthworks were completed at each end, the proposal was halted due to the Second World War. Work was still making slow progress in 1950.{{Cite web|url=http://atojs.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/atojs?a=d&d=AJHR1950-I.2.2.3.1|title=AtoJs Online — Appendix to the Journals of the House of Representatives — 1950 Session I — D-01 MINISTRY OF WORKS STATEMENT (BY THE HON.

History

A 4th class stationmasters house and 5th class Class B station were built in 1878. From 1 December 1879 to 31 October 1924 there was a Post Office at the station. By 1884 there was also a platform, cart approach, {{Convert|40|ft||abbr=on}} by {{Convert|30|ft||abbr=on}} goods shed, loading bank, cattle yards, urinals and a 21 wagon passing loop. In 1914 the goods shed was moved to the other side of the line and in 1939 Marlborough Street level crossing was closed and the station yard was altered. About 1969 $2,600 was spent on half-arm barriers and alarms at the Cameron Street crossing. In 1974 a hand crane was donated to the Museum of Transport & Technology, which also took kauri planks from the closed station at about the same time.{{Cite web |title=Photograph of MOTAT volunteers |url=https://collection.motat.org.nz/objects/86085/photograph-of-motat-volunteers |access-date=2022-05-06 |website=MOTAT Collection Online |language=en}} After closure in 1980, the goods shed was used as a workshop and storage area for a railway bridge gang, until vandalism and burglary brought about its demolition in 1981. Traffic grew as shown in the graph and table below.File:Chart_of_Pokeno_railway_station_ticket_sales_1881-1950.jpg

In 2020, reopening of the station was put forward as a scheme to help the region recover from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, at an estimated cost of $10m.{{Cite web|url=https://www.hamilton.govt.nz/our-city/covid-19/recovery-package/Documents/2.%20Hamilton%20to%20Auckland%20Passenger%20Rail%20Start-up%20Service%20Enhancements.pdf|title=Hamilton to Auckland Passenger Rail Start-up Service Enhancements|last=|first=|date=April 2020|website=Hamilton City Council|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=}} In 2022 it was said to be at least 10 years away and planned to be on the old station site, between High and Market Streets.{{Cite web |date=11 May 2022 |title=Strategy & Finance Committee agenda |url=https://www.waikatodistrict.govt.nz/docs/default-source/classifieds/220511-open-s-f-agenda.pdf?sfvrsn=56ba9ec9_1 |website=Waikato District Council}}
