The station is located on the railway line between Dordrecht and Geldermalsen (Merwede-Lingelijn). It was opened as the Giessen-Oudekerk railway station on 16 July 1885. To the east, outside the two villages, was the Hardinxveld-Giessendam railway station. When the latter railway station was closed down on 15 May 1927, the railway station Giessendam-Oudekerk was renamed "Giessendam-Neder Hardinxveld".
The railway station building was severely damaged during World War II, and had to be demolished in 1945.
On 2 June 1957, the name of the railway station was changed to its current name, and a year later a new station building was constructed. - wikkipedia
