The line through the station was originally built to link Burnley to the Outer Circle line at Waverley Road, and then on to Oakleigh. The line from Darling to Oakleigh closed on 9 December 1895.[2] It was re-opened to Eastmalvern on 3 February 1929, and the line was then extended to Glen Waverley on 5 May 1930.

Until 1987, a level crossing was provided at Moira Street, located at the Up end of the station.[1] An overpass replaced the level crossing as part of the South Eastern Arterial link, built between Toorak and Warrigal Roads.

Darling was upgraded to a Premium Station in 2008, although the current platform buildings date to 1979.[3]

A signal box at the station, which was located on Platform 1, was decommissioned on 8 June 2019.[4]
