The station opened on 7 November 1862 and was inaugurated on 5 May 1863, connecting Abrantes and Crato.[1] It was opened by (now defunct) Companhia Real dos Caminhos de Ferro Portugueses, later called Companhia dos Caminhos de Ferro Portugueses.[2]

On 18 March 1873, in order to connect Abrantes Station to Linha da Beira Baixa, plans were made by Joaquim J. de Almeida to connect Abrantes to Monfortinho, right next to the Spanish border. Similar plans were later made on 1 February 1879 by Lourenço de Carvalho (who was the Minister and Secretary of State for Business of Public Works, Commerce and Industry). It was later connected by Covilhã on 6 September 1891.[3]

It was mentioned by Hans Christian Andersen in his book A Visit to Portugal in 1866.[4]

The Linha da Beira Baixa became a line to the Abrantes station at a later time than the Linha do Leste.
