The original stop of two side platforms was opened in 1987 as an unnamed station, when the Port Melbourne and St Kilda railway lines were converted for tram operation.[6] Sometime during the early 1990s an unofficial sign was erected at the site of the station with the name, "Port Junction." This caught on and eventually became official. In January 2016 it was rebuilt with an island platform and separate platform for the Colonial Tramcar Restaurant. At the same time it was renamed Clarendon Street Junction.[7][8][9]
