History

Opening on 1 May 1926, Eaglemont station, like the suburb itself, was named after Mount Eagle, a property that was acquired in 1838 by Thomas Walker, [5] [6] who went on to become a representative of the District of Port Phillip in the New South Wales Legislative Council between 1843 and 1845. [5] Walker later sold the property to John Browne, father of author Rolf Boldrewood. [5]

In 1949, the railway line between Ivanhoe and Heidelberg was duplicated. [4] In 1979, the present station building on Platform 2 was provided. [7]
