History
Railway traffic started in Varberg in 1880 when the Varberg–Borås Line, now called Viskadal Line was opened. In 1886 the Middle Halland Railway between Varberg and Halmstad opened. In 1888 the Gothenburg–Halland Järnväg between Gothenburg and Varberg opened. The two latter lines are now part of the West Coast Line.

A basically new high-speed railway has been built along the coast after 1980, for the part just north of Varberg finished in 1998. The part through and just south of Varberg is under construction with expected completion in 2025.

The station building is from year 1880. In 2019 a tunnel began construction through Varberg, along with a new station at the northern end of the tunnel, close to the old station.
