The area is believed to have been settled during the early part of the 19th century and it became a station stop on the Lexington and Ohio Railroad line when it was opened through the village in 1833. According to the University of Kentucky, it "was named for several nearby springs and may also have been known as Big Spring Station."[2] A postal outlet operated at Spring Station from 1856 to 1973. Spring Station was home to the Woodburn Stud, a thoroughbred and standardbred horse breeding operation built by Robert A. Alexander which became the birthplace of Kentucky's Thoroughbred industry. In 1869, Daniel Swigert, who bred three Kentucky Derby winners, built a {{convert|300|acre|km2|adj=on}} thoroughbred horse breeding business at Spring Station he named Stockwood Farm.
