History Järvenpää railway station was one of the first railway stations in Finland, established on the country's first railway line in 1862. The station building was completed already in 1858, and is thought to be designed by architect Carl Albert Edelfelt. The station was originally planned to be the junction station for a railway line to Porvoo, but in the end, the railway line was built starting from Kerava station. When local train traffic in Finland began in summer 1886, Järvenpää acted as the terminus for two local train services.
In 1999, the station building was moved approximately further away from the tracks.
