History
The station opened on 10 January 1993 as part of the 2.7-km Tin Shui Wai Extension project, built by KCR to serve the developing Tin Shui Wai New Town. It was initially served by Route 721 from Tin Shui Wai to Yuen Long. Two months later, on 27 March 1993, an additional service (route 722) commenced between Tin Shui Wai and Siu Hong stop.

Route 722 (to Siu Hong) was replaced with route 720 (to Yau Oi), which in turn was replaced with route 751 in December 2003. At the same time, Route 721 was replaced with route 761. The December 2003 changes were made due to the commissioning of the West Rail project.

There was an accident at this station on 20 December 2016. Two light rail trains collided, injuring 19.
