History

Tooronga station opened on 24 March 1890, when the railway line from Burnley was extended to Eastmalvern. The station is named after nearby Tooronga Road, which in turn was named after an adjacent two-story property. The word Tooronga is Indigenous, meaning "modern" or "new".
In 1955, the current station platforms were provided, when duplication of the line occurred between Kooyong and Gardiner.
In 1966, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Tooronga Road level crossing, located at the down end of the station. The signal box protecting the level crossing and a goods yard were also abolished during that time.
In 1975, the current station buildings were provided.
