The shopping centre opened as a shopping plaza in 1956 and was enclosed in 1968.

Ivanhoé Cambridge had the grand opening of the CA$230 million renovated and expanded a portion of the mall on September 29, 2016. The renovation and expansion project began in the summer of 2013 which included 60 additional stores within the mall. In 2014, Zellers was torn down to make room for what is now parking space. The former 1950s-themed food court was replaced with a new 1000-seat food court. The food court was relocated to the east section of the mall, in the new addition.

Former large retailers at Oshawa Centre included:

The former Westmount Public School, a heritage building built in 1925, was acquired in 1988 and was demolished in September 2018 to make way for the mall's future expansion.
