History
In 1899 a company was formed to build the line Phan Rang–Tháp Chàm to Đà Lạt, then via Ninh Chữ Beach to Tây Nguyên, which in 1903 built a warehouse in the station area at Phan Thiết. In 1920 Biên Hòa - Tháp Chàm was connected passing via Phan Thiết and a station house was constructed. From 1948-1950 the line between Ninh Hòa, Phan Thiết and Nha Trang was secured by a special French Foreign Legion armoured train called La Rafale. In 2012 Phan Thiết Railway Station was relocated to a site outside the town adjacent to National Route 1A.
