Originally a predecessor station was built for the Federated Malay States Railway (FMSR) approximately 100 metres away from the current station, however Kempas Lama railway station as most railway fans named it was destroyed by the Japanese in World War II but was rebuilt after the war and demolished a few years later. After years of abandonment, the Malayan Railways ordered for a new railway station built and "Kempas Baru" (which means "New Kempas" in Malay) was chosen as the new station's name.
