[4] Like the locality itself, the station was named after the French words 'joli mont', [6] [7] which translates to 'pretty mount' in English. The name was believed to have been given by the French-Swiss wife of Charles Joseph La Trobe, Victoria's first Governor. [6] [7]
The original timber station building was manufactured in England in 1899. In the late 1920s, it was sold and re-erected in Canberra, on the site of the present Jolimont Centre. After being damaged by fire, it was demolished in 1977. [8]

In November 2015, extra shelter and seats were provided on both platforms. [11]
