History

Majorenhof Station, c. 1900.

Majori station opened on 21 September 1877 as one of the original intermediate stops on the new railway line from Riga to Tukums via Jūrmala. The station was known as Majorenhof until 1919.

The original station building was made of wood. It was demolished in 1992 and replaced with current brick station building. In 2015, the station underwent renovations that removed the central boarding platform and added two contemporary side platforms.
