Formerly known as Pavonia/Newport, current NJ Transit maps and timetables refer to this station as "Newport", following a similar change several years earlier in the name of the adjacent PATH station.The station opened on November 18, 2000.

In January 2019, it was announced that connecting New York Waterway ferry service would be restored in the summer of 2019 at a new rebuilt pier. Ferry service was discontinued in January 2014 due to deteriorating pier conditions. The Hudson River Waterfront Walkway to Hoboken Terminal also had been recently completed allowing access to the ferry services at the terminal from Newport.As of 2014, it is the busiest station on the HBLR system (with an average of 6,122 passenger boardings daily).
