The station was built by the Peel Station as terminus on the Peel Line of Isle of Man Railway and opened on 1 July 1873. The station was located at the end of the narrow gauge steam-operated railway line from Douglas via St John's to the town of Peel.
On the 13.11.1965, Peel Station closed along with the entire Manx rail network, services once again started running to Douglas in 1967. However the newly launched services did not last very long and Peel Station closed to passengers along with all of the Douglas to Peel line stations on 7.9.1968.
The actual building was erected in 1908 replacing the old one. The inscription on the plaque reads:
