Originally called Pongdu-ri station (Chosŏn'gŭl: 봉두리역; Hanja: 鳳頭里駅), the station, along with the rest of the Paegam–Pongdu-ri section, was opened by the Government Railways of Chosen (朝鮮総督府鉄道) on 1 September 1935.[2] It received its current name after the establishment of the DPRK.

On 9 October 2006 an underground nuclear test was conducted at P'unggye-ri in Kilju County, causing the closure of the line for 3-4 months.[3]

Iron sulphide is the main commodity shipped from Unhŭng.[4]
