The station opened on 21 April 1842 as Bonnybridge, ^[1] although there was a station of the same name on the nearby Caledonian Railway Main Line. This E&GR station was not renamed to Bonnybridge High until 1953, ^[1] after the closure of the CR station in the 1930s. ^[1] The station name reverted to its original in 1965 for the last two years of its existence. ^[1]
