The station opened on 3 October 1888 as Para Meadow.[1] In 1909 the name was changed to Balgownie and in 1956 the current name was adopted.[1] The station underwent maintenance in early 2011. This included the resurfacing of the two platforms, new garden beds underneath the stairs and repainted exteriors.
