The station opened with the arrival of the railway in the 1860s.[3] No trains stopped at the station between 1975 and 2013.

As part of a plan to increase local passenger traffic in southern Sweden, the station was rebuilt and refurbished between 2011 and 2013. It was re-inaugurated on December 14, 2013, with regular passenger traffic starting on the following day.[4] As of 2020, the station is served by the VäxjöHässleholm route of the Krösatågen [sv] regional rail network.[5] In Skåne, where Hästveda is located, ticket-wise the trains belong to Pågatågen.
