In 1933, Matthie Station on the Atchison, Topea and Santa Fe railroad was used as a connecting stub from Phoenix to the Prescott and Ash Fork line.[3] The service was proposed to be cut in 1934.[4]

Matthie was the location of the nearest train turnaround point to Wickenburg in 1950, lying approximately five miles west of the town.[5]

The Matthie railroad junction was designated as a wildlife refuge in the 1950s by the state department due to drinking troughs laid out by the railroad engineer.[6]

The Arizona and California Railroad Company bought the tracks ending at Matthie in 1991.[7]
