Laurys station, also known as Laury's station, was a Lehigh Valley Railroad station in Laurys Station, Pennsylvania. Both the station and locality drew their name from David Laury, a local notable who established a hotel on the site in 1832 and later served as postmaster. Service began at Laurys in 1855 with the opening of the Lehigh Valley Railroad. As was common for that era, it used a locally-constructed building. The railroad added an engine house in 1859. Passenger service to Laurys ended in May 1938; the station and freight house were town down the following September.
