History Nikkilä is one of the original stations of the private Kerava–Porvoo railway, opened in July 1874. It was established close to the Nikkilä manor, and due to its influence, a village started to form between the station and the road leading to the Sipoo church.

The private railway was nationalised in 1917. The Finnish State Railways ceased operating passenger trains on the Porvoo line in 1981, and freight services were discontinued in June 1990.
