The station was originally constructed c. 1870 at Central Avenue and Plainfield Avenue and named Stelton after the Stelle family, early settlers in Piscatawaytown who arrived in the area in the 1660s. The Pennsylvania Railroad renamed the station to Edison on October 29, 1956, as part of the changing of names in Edison to reflect the newly honored Thomas Alva Edison. The railroad discontinued its ticket and freight agent at Edison in October 1958. The railroad razed the brick station depot at Edison in October 1963. The station depot had burned and was in poor shape prior to its demolition.
