The station was established in 1913 by the Canadian Northern Railway as a divisional point and headquarters for the Superior Division, under the name Fitzbach railway station; its name was changed to Hornepayne around 1920.[2] Until the arrival of the highway in the 1980s, the town was dependent on the railway for transportation of supplies into the community.[2] It was demolished in 2020 by its owner CN, citing safety concerns.[3]
