Hartford station was built by the Grand Junction Railway (GJR) and opened in September 1837.
 The GJR became a constituent of the newly formed London and North Western Railway on 16 July 1846, which in turn was absorbed by the London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMSR) in 1923.
The LMSR was nationalised within British Railways on 1 January 1948 and the station and its train services were thereafter operated by the London Midland Region of BR.
The station buildings were greatly rationalised at the time of the West Coast electrification in the 1960s.
