The station is located within the neighborhood (Turkish: Mahalle) of Gazi in Yenimahalle.

Gazi Mahallesi was originally built in 1970 by the Turkish State Railways, when the railway from Ankara to Sincan was double-tracked.[2] It entered service in 1972. In 1984, a second platform was added when the railway was expanded to four tracks. This platform was disused in the late 1990s but remained until early 2012 when it was demolished.
