A railway station had already been built in the town 50 years prior in 1866 by the Ferrocarril Oeste.[2][3] Plans for the creation of a town had been proposed as early as 1904 by the heirs of the owners of the land that would become Gorostiaga.[4] Passenger rail service to the town ended in 2015.[5]
