History
The station was open in 1898, though the railway between Moscow and Vladimir was in operation since 1861. The name of the station is given by the nearby village, which later became an urban-type settlement, and in 1963, together with the station, was merged into the town of Zheleznodorozhny. The name of the village, known since the 16th century, originates from the owner, Kucha or Kuchin.
