    The station opened in 1863 as the terminus of the new railway line from Langå to Viborg. In 1864, the railway line was extended to Skive and in 1865 to Struer.

    In 1893, Viborg Station also became the southern terminus of the new Viborg-Aalestrup railway line, which was connected to the Hobro-Aalestrup-Løgstør line a month later.
    The original Viborg Station was a terminus, and trains arriving there had to terminate their journeys or return from the station. In 1896, the station was relocated to its current location, and the current station building was built.
