Allenhurst station opened on May 17, 1897, as a replacement for the Interlaken station on the New York and Long Branch Railroad, a joint operation between the Central Railroad of New Jersey and Pennsylvania Railroad.^[2] As part of opening, Interlaken station became a Sunday-only stop on the railroad until its closure on July 31, 1904.^[2][7][8] The station joined the National Register of Historic Places in August 1980, despite the poor condition of the station depot.^[9] New Jersey Transit eliminated agent services at the station on July 1, 1981.^[3] However, the owner razed the wooden station depot on April 13, 1982. The station has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1980,^[10][11] despite being demolished.^[4]
