Mæl Station was constructed based upon designs by architect, Thorvald Astrup.
The station was built in 1909 when the Rjukan Line opened and was electrified in 1911.
A new station building was constructed in 1917; it was named Rollag until 1921 when it had to change name because of the connection to the national railway network—there was already  Rollag Station on the Numedal Line.

After traffic on the Rjukan Line  declined, the railway was closed in 1991.
It was kept as a heritage railway and the foundation Stiftelsen Rjukanbanen was established to ensure that the railway remained in an operational condition.
 In  1993, Mæl Station was renovated and there is now an information center in the building.
Mæl is a point of entry for boats which operate tours during the summer months.
The former ferry boat DF  Ammonia is docked at  Mæl and is currently used as a  stationary museum.
