History

In 1846, a Belgian engineer Zuber began developing the initial draft of the railway between Odessa and Tiraspol. The construction of the railway to the Tiraspol began in the second half of the 1860s. In 1867, the railway line was built from Razdelnaya to Tiraspol. By the end of 1867 in Tiraspol was built a railway station.

At the beginning of the 20th century, passenger traffic occupied an increasingly important position in rail transport in the region; in Odessa and Chisinau in Tiraspol for trains of different classes of mail, goods and passenger, courier.

In April 1944 the station was burned down by the German-Romanian troops.
