Savyolovsky station was built during the years 1897–1902, when a 130 km long railway running north from Moscow and connecting it to the towns of Kashin, Kalyazin, Uglich, and Rybinsk was constructed.
The modern name of the station originates from the name of a village Savyolovo (now a district of the town of Kimry) situated along the line.
As the line was built by a private company, the place of the rail station was initially built outside Moscow next to the outpost of Butyrka.
Initially known as Butyrsky station, the station lacks the ornateness and grandeur of Moscow's other stations and consists of a central two-story section flanked by two single story wings.
When the station marked its 90th anniversary, it was internally redeveloped, expanded and restored adding a second floor and improving the quality of platforms.
