==History==
[[File:CSH LIRR newsstand closed jeh.jpg|thumb|left|The westbound platform, with the station house visible at center-right.]]
In December 1875, a station was built in the nearby community of [[Woodbury, Nassau County, New York|Woodbury]], in [[Nassau County, New York|Nassau]] (then [[Queens]]) County, as "Woodbury station", as an extension of the [[Hicksville and Syosset Railroad]]. It was renamed "Cold Spring station" on October 15, 1880,<ref name="LIRR Stations">{{cite book |last=Morrison |first=David D. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=20BUDIVc-5AC&pg=PA57 |title=Long Island Rail Road Stations |last2=Pakaluk |first2=Valerie |publisher=Arcadia |year=2003 |isbn=0-7385-1180-3 |location=Chicago |page= |access-date=November 20, 2011}}</ref><ref>[http://www.trainsarefun.com/lirr/lirrpaper/ColdSpringGenlOrder90_10-15-1880.jpg Long Island Rail Road: General Order Number 90 (TrainsAreFun.com)]</ref> when the southern portion of what is now the [[Laurel Hollow, New York|Village of Laurel Hollow]] was still known as [[Cold Spring Harbor, New York|Cold Spring]].<ref name="LIRR Stations" />

At some point between 1901 and 1902, the station was moved east to the present-day Cold Springs Hills section of the hamlet of [[West Hills, New York|West Hills]] and assumed its current name of Cold Spring Harbor.<ref name="LIRR Stations" />

The station was reconstructed in 1948, during which time the current station house was erected.<ref name="LIRR Stations" /><ref>[http://www.trainsarefun.com/lirrphotos/LIRR%20STATION%20HISTORY.pdf LIRR station History (TrainsAreFun.com)]</ref> In 1970, the station was electrified, along with the rest of the Port Jefferson Branch between [[Mineola (LIRR station)|Mineola]] and [[Huntington (LIRR station)|Huntington]].<ref>{{Cite news|title=Change at Jamaica Is Only a Memory For 12,000 Riders |first=Werner |last=Bamberger |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1970/10/20/archives/change-at-jamaica-is-only-a-memory-for-12000-riders.html |newspaper=The New York Times |date=October 20, 1970 |page=88 |access-date=2009-09-17}}</ref>

Since 2007, the station has served as the western terminus of [[New York State Bicycle Route 25A]].<ref name="2009log">{{cite book |author=New York State Department of Transportation |url=https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/operating/oom/transportation-systems/repository/2012%20tour-bk.pdf |title=Official Description of Highway Touring Routes, Bicycling Touring Routes, Scenic Byways, & Commemorative/Memorial Designations in New York State |date=January 2012 |format=PDF |url-status=dead |accessdate=February 16, 2012 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130729075940/https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/operating/oom/transportation-systems/repository/2012%20tour-bk.pdf |archivedate=July 29, 2013}}</ref>
