The station building was built in 1887[1] as part of the Coast Line and was the first train depot in Ventura County. Passenger services continued until 1934 and freight operations until 1975. It was designated a Ventura County Historic Landmark in 1972.[2] The station currently houses the Santa Paula Chamber of Commerce.[3]

The depot, depicting a rural Australian train station, appeared in the miniseries The Thorn Birds.[4] Portions of the season 3 finale of Glee, titled Goodbye, were filmed at the depot.[3]
