The station is located on the grounds of the original Vigo-Urzáiz station built in 1878, from which the first train left on 18 June 1881 for Ourense, thus inaugurating the railway service in the city of Vigo.

On 27 August 2011 the old Vigo-Urzáiz station ceased to provide rail service, moving all services to the Vigo-Guixar station and proceeding to the demolition of all the facilities including the maintenance warehouses to proceed with the construction of the current underground station 15 metres below the original level.

It's scheduled to go into service in September 2021.^[4]
