Brørup railway station opened on 3 October 1874 as one of the original intermediate stations on the Lunderskov–Esbjerg railway line.[2] The station opened where the railway line crossed the highway between Vejle and Ribe and approximately 1.5 km south of Brørup Church, located by the highway between Kolding and Varde. After the opening of the railway line, a railway town developed around the station.
