The station opened to passenger traffic on 1 May 1882.The station was host to a LNER camping coach from 1935 to 1939. The station closed on 3 June 1950 when the line closed to passenger traffic.The station was named Forge Valley after a local beauty spot to avoid naming it after either of the Ayton villages that it was located near.
