In July 1837 the London and Birmingham Railway (L&BR) opened the first part of its new railway line between London Euston Station and Boxmoor (now Hemel Hempstead).
The line was fully opened between Euston and Birmingham Curzon Street in September 1838.
Kings Langley had no station of its own, the nearest station being at Boxmoor or Watford.

Local industrialist John Dickinson used his influence to convince the L&BR to open a station at Kings Langley, and in 1839 Kings Langley railway station opened.

From 1909 the station was known as Kings Langley & Abbots Langley, becoming Kings Langley on 6 May 1974.
