Izmit station was first opened on 1 August 1873 by the Ottoman government as part of the Constantinople-Izmit railway. The line was then sold to the Anatolian Railway (CFOA) in 1880, which continued to build the line east to Ankara. The Turkish State Railways took over the railway and the station in 1927.
