History
The Norfolk County Railroad built their Midland Division from Islington to Boston in 1853. No station was located at the modern location, which was in the middle of a swamp until the middle of the 20th century. A station named Rustcraft opened off Rustcraft Road, just east of the modern station location, in the 1950s. The station, which served an industrial plant, closed in 1977.
During the 1980s, the Dedham Corporate Center office park was built nearby due to convenient access to Route 128 and Route 1. On January 15, 1990, Dedham Corporate Center station was opened. As well as providing access to the office park, the station provides nearly 500 parking spaces for commuters riding to Boston.
