It depends how you define space station, the Unmanned Atlas-Agena docking platform was used in the Gemini shots as a sort of practice device for rendezvous and docking This was in the mid-late sixties- once coupled to the Agena stage- the astros could light off the Agena engine and in theory boost their orbit- there were a number of seriious problems with the coupling procedure, and it is a good thing the Agena was unmanned- but a useful training device, like AA drones- which paved the way for the much later space outposts such as the Mir and International Space Station.
