Railroad service in the area began on March 4, 1870, when the Hackensack and New York Extension Railroad opened from the terminal in Hackensack to a new station in Hillsdale. At the time of opening, the station was known as Cherry Hill. In 1895, the name was changed to North Hackensack, a name it would retain until April 2009, when it was changed to New Bridge Landing, in reference to the former hamlet. The station depot at then-North Hackensack, built by the Erie Railroad, came down in 1978.
Due to increased ridership from bi-directional operation, an additional 143 parking spaces were added to a permit only parking lot on August 13, 2008, bringing the total number of spaces at the station to 291.[8][9]
During December 2022, the station along with the Anderson Street stop in Hackensack were awarded $18 million to make the stations more accessible. The grants will fully modernize the stations, and make them more accessible. They will also add ADA compliant ramps. [10]
