The station opened on 20 April 1882 to serve as the northern terminus of the new railway line from Struer to Thisted. In 1904, Thisted station also became the western terminus of the new Thisted-Fjerritslev railway [da], which connected with the Fjerritslev-Frederikshavn railway [da] in Fjerritslev. The Thisted-Fjerritslev Line closed in 1969. In 2003, operation of the local rail services between Thisted and Struer were transferred from the national railway company DSB to the private public transport company Arriva, later branded as GoCollective. Since 2026, the train services are again operated by DSB.
