Originally named Buruda, the Aboriginal word for forest oak,[1] it was renamed as Doboy railway station in 1929.[2] The station consisted of two short platforms and a pedestrian overbridge, and was predominately used by workers at the nearby meatworks.[3]

Doboy railway station closed in 1993, along with the closure of the meatworks.[3]
