History

The original station, initially named Väsby, opened in 1866 when the Northern Main Line (now part of the Ostkustbanan) was inaugurated. In 1907, it became the terminus for local trains from Stockholm. In 1939, the station name was changed to its current one to avoid confusion with names like Näsby or Visby. The postal service had made a similar change twenty years earlier, and in 1952, the name was adopted by the Upplands Väsby Municipality.

In 1967, SL took over the responsibility for local public transport within Stockholm County, introducing modern commuter train services and prompting the station’s renovation. Further renovations took place in the 1980s and 1990s, when the track was expanded to four tracks. From 2006 to 2012, Upptåget had its southern terminus at Upplands Väsby, which led to the addition of temporary wooden platforms.
