History

Yeongdeungpo station opened on September 18, 1899, as a stop on the Gyeongin Line. On April 1, 1936, trains on the Gyeongbu Line began calling here. The station's name was changed to "Namgyeongseong" (South Gyeongseong, Gyeongseong being the then name of Seoul), but it reverted to its current name on April 1, 1943, and on January 1, 1949, the station was given "Level 5" in its classification of importance. The station building was destroyed on June 30, 1950, five days after the beginning of the Korean War, and a new building was not completed until January 12, 1965. On February 1, 1968, the station was deemed to be of "Level 4" importance. Trains on the Seoul Subway began running through Yeongdeungpo on August 15, 1974. The station stopped handling freight on May 1, 2006.

On November 6, 2022, a Mugunghwa-ho train derailed at the station, injuring 30 passengers.

On September 18, 1899, when the Gyeongin Line opened, Noryangjin Station was located at the site of Yeongdeungpo Station, but it was not possible to build a station near the Han River due to flooding. On July 8, 1900, when the Gyeongin Line was fully opened, Noryangjin Station was moved to its current location. The existing station facilities in Yeongdeungpo were kept for operation, but when the residents of Yeongdeungpo demanded that trains stop there, the Gyeongin Railroad Joint Stock Company converted the facilities to Yeongdeungpo Station operations.
