The station was built in c.1914 and is located off State Route 35, about 40 miles (64 km) northwest of Duchesne. It was a work of U.S. Forest Service architects. It was listed on the NRHP) in 1999; the listing included five contributing buildings and five non-contributing buildings and structures, built from c.1914 to 1985.^[1]^[2]

It is significant as a memento of the early days of the U.S. Forest Service, which had been established in 1905. The station established a Federal presence and its main building is one of the "earliest remaining structures on the Ashley National Forest built specifically by the Forest Service to house a ranger." It is named for the former town of Stockmore, about 1/4 mile to the east, which had been abandoned around 1906 after it was discovered that supposed gold strike in the area had been a fraud.^[2]
