Montmorency station opened twenty-one years after the railway line from Heidelberg was extended to Hurstbridge.[5] Like the suburb itself, the station was named after a local farm, the Montmorency Estate, itself named after the French town Montmorency, Val-d'Oise.[6][7]
On 15 May 2019, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced that planning for the duplication of 3 kms of track between Greensborough and Eltham was underway. Final designs of the new station were released on 9 February 2021,[9] with early work of the project commencing in late 2021, with major construction started in 2022.[10] The station was rebuilt approximately 100 m (330 ft) west of the current station, and included a new platform.[11][12] On 30 April 2023, the rebuilt station opened.[1]
