History
Railway traffic started in Halmstad in 1877 when the railway towards Nässjö started traffic. [2] The railway along the coast was built slightly later.[4][5]
A basically new high-speed railway has been built along the coast after 1980.[4] It has an entirely new route north from Halmstad; the old one went through Gullbrandstorp.[5] The route south from Halmstad is same as the old route until Eldsberga.
The station building is from year 1886.[6]
There are plans to lengthen platforms, build pedestrian bridges (the middle platform is at present accessed over a level crossing) and rebuild tracks.[7]

Multiple hotels are located next to Halmstad Central Station, including Grand Hotel. The area around the station is earmarked for major redevelopment named "Stationsstaden".[8][9][10]
