History

The station was established in 1923. Since Longhai railway crossed over the Grand Canal here, it was named as Yunhe railway station (Chinese: 运河站, literally Canal railway station) initially.

The station was renamed as Pixian railway station (Chinese: 邳县站, literally Pi County railway station) in 1954. In 1992, Pi County was promoted to Pizhou City, but the station name remained unchanged until 2005.
