Immingham Town electric railway station was the penultimate unconditional stop on the inter-urban[3] Grimsby and Immingham Electric Railway when travelling from Corporation Bridge, Grimsby to Immingham Dock. All tramcars reversed here.[4][5][6][7]

The halt was the line's temporary western terminus for the eighteen months from opening until the extension to the permanent terminus at Immingham Dock was opened on 17 November 1913. Throughout this period the halt appeared on tickets as plain "Immingham", being permanently "Immingham Town" thereafter.[8]
