History

A station was built in Nassau (then Queens) County in December 1875 in Woodbury as "Woodbury station", as an extension of the Hicksville and Syosset Railroad. It was renamed "Cold Spring station" on October 15, 1880,[3] when the southern part of Laurel Hollow, New York was still known as Cold Spring. Sometime between 1901 and 1902 it was moved east to the now Cold Springs Hills community of the hamlet of West Hills, New York and took its current name of Cold Spring Harbor name. The station was razed then rebuilt in 1948.[4] In 1970 the station was electrified, along with the rest of the Port Jefferson Branch between Mineola and Huntington stations.[5] Since 2007, the station has served as the western terminus of New York State Bicycle Route 25A.
