History
When the Compagnie des chemins de fer des Ardennes opened the 52 km Reims-Laon railway in 1857, the railway halt in Amifontaine had yet to be established. The station was still absent from the line in 1861. However, by 1868, the French writer Adolphe Joanne indicated the station was in operation in his book Itinéraire général de la France : Vosges et Ardennes. At the time the station served a population of 437 in Amifontaine only on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
