This intermediate station on the Stirling-Gartness-Balloch line of the former North British Rly was opened (as Cardross Station) by the Edinburgh and Glasgow (Forth and Clyde Junction) Rly on 26 May 1856. It was successively renamed Port of Menteith NB (in May 1858) and Port of Menteith (in June 1880) before being closed to regular passenger traffic by the London and North-Eastern Rly on 1 October 1934.
