This station is a train station located on the first section of the Batavia–Buitenzorg railway line which was inaugurated by the Nederlandsch-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij (NIS), namely the Batavia–Weltevreden section. At first, this station was a small stop which was inaugurated on 15 September 1871, simultaneously with the opening of the first section of the railroad line. This station was named Noordwijk Station which later changed its name to Pintoe-air Station (Pintu Air Station after the enactment of the Republican Spelling System) during the Japanese occupation of Indonesia.[3][4]
In the 1990s, Pintu Air Station was massively reconstructed into an elevated station. The remodeled station was inaugurated as one of the Manggarai–Jakarta Kota elevated stations on 5 June 1992, along with a name change to Juanda Station. At the time, President Suharto along with his wife Siti Hartinah and other ranks in the government inaugurated the elevated railway by taking the electric train from Gambir Station to Jakarta Kota Station.[5][6][7]
