History

Glengarry railway station opened in 1883 with the construction of the line from Traralgon to Heyfield and was 167 km from Southern Cross station.[1] The station was first named La Trobe but was renamed Glengarry shortly after opening.

A post office operated at the station from 1 January 1884. On 1 December 1884 the post office name was changed from La Trobe Railway Station Post office to Glengarry Post Office.[2] In 1887, there was an attempted robbery at the station, with burglars tampering with a safe and breaking into a shed.[3][4] In 1927, the amount of revenue derived from the station was £2227.[5]

The station building and platform have been restored as an art and craft shop.[6]
