When the New York and Harlem Railroad was built though the community in 1847, Bedford Hills was known as Beford. This name stood until 1910. The former station, influenced by the design cues of Henry Hobson Richardson and built by the New York Central Railroad in the late-19th century, stands aside the current one and, unusually for surviving NYC stations along the Harlem Line, still has its sign. But like many others, it has found new life as a home for local businesses.[3]

This station is located in the Zone 6 Metro-North fare zone.
