The station can be traced as far back as 1863, with a relocation in 1877.

In 2013, this station saw 471 boardings and 509 alightings on an average weekday.[3] Most regular commuters from Wyndmoor station are from Chestnut Hill and the adjacent Wyndmoor neighborhood, with some also from Erdenheim and Laverock.
