A halt named Pwllheli Road existed here on the horse-drawn Nantlle Railway from 1856 to 12 June 1865.From the outset timetables appeared regularly in the "Carnarvon & Denbigh Herald" and in Bradshaw from October 1856. It was obliterated when the standard gauge railway and station were built.

The station opened on 2 September 1867, also as "Pwllheli Road". It was renamed "Llanwnda" in 1877 and closed with the line in December 1964.
