Crib Point station opened on 17 December 1889, when the railway line from Hastings was extended to Stony Point.[3] Like the town itself, the station was named after a hut or "crib" was built by fishermen in the 1850s.[4][5]
In 1974, flashing light signals were provided at the Naval Base Road level crossing.[6][7]
On 22 June 1981, the passenger service between Frankston and Stony Point was withdrawn and replaced with a bus service,[3] with the line between Long Island Junction and Stony Point also closing on the same day.[3] On 16 September 1984, promotional trips for the reopening of the line began and,[8] on 27 September of that year, the passenger service was reinstated.[3]
In February 1986, the former station building, which was of a timber construction,[9] was replaced with the current passenger shelters.[10]
In 2006, No. 3 road was removed[3] and, in October 2007, the last remaining road was removed.[12] The removal of the roads coincided with the removal of a number of semaphore signals at the station as part of a signal upgrade on the Stony Point line.[12]
