The railway station and the surrounding areas were earlier called Marafari, in what was then Hazaribagh district. The surrounding areas are still referred to as Marafari. With the construction of the Bokaro Steel Plant, the railway station was renamed Bokaro Steel City.
Amongst the railway lines earlier laid in the area was the Grand Chord of East Indian Railway Company which was opened in 1906. With the opening up of coalfields in the area between Gomoh and Barkakana, came the Gomoh–Barkakana line in 1927. The Bengal Nagpur Railway built the line from Nagpur to Asansol and opened it for goods traffic in 1891. The line was extended to Gomoh in 1907 and the Mohuda–Chandrapura link came in 1913.
The construction of the 143 kilometres (89 mi) long Chandrapura–Muri–Ranchi–Hatia line started in 1957 and was completed in 1961.
