The station also has three parking lots available for use by commuters. Nanuet station sits at the former junction of the Erie Railroad Piermont Branch, New City Branch and New Jersey and New York Railroad, but its history dates to June 30, 1841 with the opening of service on the railroad from Piermont to Goshen, New York. At the time, the station would be known as Red Tavern, where David Demarest operated a lumberyard to help facilitate railroad construction. In 1849, the station would be renamed Clarkstown. Upon realignment of the Erie Railroad main line on to the Paterson and Ramapo Railroad in 1852, the station would be moved onto the Piermont Branch. The name was changed into 1856 to its current of Nanuet. The New Jersey and New York Railroad would reach Nanuet on May 27, 1871 as part of an extension of the Hackensack and New York Extension Railroad from Hillsdale, New Jersey. The station agent at Nanuet was eliminated in 1964 as part of cuts by the successor Erie Lackawanna Railroad and the station depot at Nanuet burned down on March 14, 1991.
