The station was formerly known as State Hospital and was a flag stop in the 1960s.[1][2] The Wingdale station was approximately one half mile north (west) in the hamlet. The stations were consolidated in 1977 with the State Hospital station being renamed Harlem Valley-Wingdale and the Wingdale stop being discontinued.[3]
