Gapyeong Station began operation upon the opening of the Gyeongchun Line on July 25, 1939. The station was damaged during the Korean War and restored on June 12, 1957.
The double-tracked Gyeongchun Line was opened on December 21, 2010. The ITX-Cheongchun Train, which includes Gapyeong Station as one of its stops, began operation on February 28, 2012 and travels along the Gyeongchun Line.
Gapyeong's name (嘉平 in classical Chinese) was given by King Gyeongdeok of the Unified Silla Period to describe the region's natural beauty. Today, the Chinese characters 加平 are used to represent the name for the sake of convenience.
Gapyeong and its tourist attractions, Namiseom Island in particular, grew in popularity after being featured in the Korean drama Winter Sonata.
