History
The station opened on 26 August 1876 as the railway company Østjyske Jernbane (ØJJ) opened the railway line Randers-Ryomgaard-Grenaa from Randers to Grenaa. In 1877, ØJJ opened a branch line from Ryomgård to Aarhus, and just a few years later the trains starting running directly between Grenaa and Aarhus, with the Ryomgård-Randers section being reduced to a branch line used mostly for rail freight transport until it was closed altogether on 2 May 1971.
In 1911, Ryomgård station became the southern terminus of the Ryomgård-Gjerrild Line from Ryomgård to the town of Gjerrild which in 1917 was prolonged from Gjerrild to Grenaa. The Ryomgård-Gjerrild-Grenaa Line was closed in 1956.
