The station first opened to the public in 1893 as part of the Las Arenas-Plentzia railway, operated by the Las Arenas-Plencia Railway Company. At the time it was known as ''Guecho'' station. At Las Arenas, in the municipality of Getxo, the line connected with the Bilbao-Las Arenas railway. Direct services between [[Bilbao]] and Bidezabal started in 1901.{{cite web |last1=Peris Torner |first1=Juan |title=Ferrocarril de Bilbao a Las Arenas y Plencia (Suburbanos de Bilbao) |url=https://www.spanishrailway.com/ferrocarril-de-bilbao-a-las-arenas-y-plencia-suburbanos-de-bilbao/ |website=Spanish Railway |access-date=26 June 2022 |language=es |date=21 March 2012}} |

Starting in 1947, the narrow-gauge railway companies that operated within the [[Bilbao metropolitan area]] were merged to become ''[[Ferrocarriles y Transportes Suburbanos]]'', shortened FTS and the first precedent of today's [[Bilbao Metro]]. In 1977, the FTS network was transferred to the public company [[Renfe Feve|FEVE]] and in 1982 to the recently created [[Euskotren|Basque Railways]].{{cite web |last1=Peris Torner |first1=Juan |title=Ferrocarriles y Transportes Suburbanos de Bilbao S.A.
