The first station in Frederikshavn opened in 1871 as the terminal station of the new Nørresundby-Frederikshavn railway line. The branch from Nørresundby to Frederikshavn opened on 16 August 1871, and on 7 January 1879, at the opening of the Limfjord Railway Bridge, the line was connected with Aalborg station, the Randers-Aalborg railway line and the rest of Denmark's railway lines.

The original station was designed by N.P.C. Holsøe. It was located a short distance west of the current station, in the area where Frederikshavn Town Hall is now located.

The station became the terminus of the Skagen railway line between Frederikshavn og Skagen in 1890. In 1899 it also became the terminus of the Sæbybanen railway line between Nørresundby og Frederikshavn via Sæby, until the branch between Sæby and Frederikshavn was closed in 1962.

In 1979 the station moved to its current location and the old station was closed and torn down.
