Opened in 1866 as King's station on the narrow gauge Talyllyn Railway line, this was a goods station that served as a place for transhipment of slates from the narrow gauge to the adjacent Cambrian Railway main line. This later opened as a passenger station around 1911 as Towyn Wharf, later renamed to Tywyn Wharf in 1975. The Narrow Gauge Railway Museum is housed in the building, and has been at the station since 1955.
