[edit] History

Hughesdale station opened on Saturday, 28th February 1925. The station and suburb were named in honour of James Vincent Hughes, mayor of Oakleigh from 1924 to 1925 who, with the Poath Road Railway Station League, lobbied heavily for a new station for the area. In 1924 the League suggested the station be called "Hugheston", but in February 1925, shortly before the station opened, Victorian Railways decided its name would be "Hughesdale". Hughesdale was once the junction for the Outer Circle and Rosstown railway lines.
