Anecdote
From late 1910 to 1938 the station offered a connection with the metre-gauge tramway from Meaux to Dammartin, whose stop was called Saint-Mard-Nord. Its ticket office closed on 1 March 2022. A study is looking at extending RER B to the station. The name Saint-Mard comes from Saint Médard, patron saint of the parish. The church of Saint-Médard, dating from the mid-13th century, was rebuilt in 1826; it holds a polychrome wooden statue of Saint Mard from the 16th-17th centuries, listed as a historic monument.
