The station was opened on 3 May 1991 along with the final section of the Guangzhou–Maoming railway.[1]

The name of this station was changed from Maoming East to Maoming on 10 September 2016. Another station, previously called Maoming, was renamed Maoming West railway station at the same time.[2]

On 21 October 2019, a new station building south of the railway was opened, while the old station building situated north of the line was closed.[3] The north station building was subsequently demolished, and the new building is expected to open in 2021.[4]
