The station goes back to a South Florida Railroad depot from 1883. At this point, the St. Cloud and Sugar Belt Railway crossed with the Florida Midland Railroad . All three companies later became part of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad , which in turn built a new depot in Kissimmee in 1910, which still exists today. The station was renovated in 1976 and repaired in 2004 after hurricane damage.
