Opening on 20 September 1919, Edithvale station gets it name from Edithvale Road, itself named after a local farm, Edithvale Farm, which was established in the 1850s and owned by John and Edith Greves.[6][7]
In its early years, a siding existed on the Down side before Platform 2.[8]
In 1978, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the former Edithvale Road level crossing, which was located at the Down end of the station.[5] In 1981, the former ground level station buildings were provided.[9]
On 28 July 2019, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced that the level crossing was fast-tracked to be grade separated by 2022.[10] Construction started in 2020, with the former ground level station closing on 25 July 2021 for demolition.[11] On 22 November of that year, the rebuilt station opened to passengers.[12][13] As part of the project, the line was lowered into a trench, and the station rebuilt, along with Chelsea and Bonbeach.[14]
