History

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (September 2017)

The name "Chidda" is derived from "the native word for little bird"[3] and the stopping place has also been known as the "Spains Road siding". It is unclear when this station opened, with a mention made in 1936 of "a landing place for passengers who join and alight from the Gawler rail car."[4]

Chidda initially had step down platforms, where a length of 122 metres were provided. In the second half of 1974 they were replaced by the current island platform of the same length. To the west of the station lies the Australian Rail Track Corporation standard gauge line to Crystal Brook.
