The station is named after nearby Tooronga Road, which in turn was named after an adjacent two-story property. The word Tooronga is Aboriginal, meaning "modern" or "new".[2]

The current station was provided in 1955, when duplication of the line occurred between Kooyong and Gardiner stations.[1] The current station buildings were provided in 1975.[3]

In 1966, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Tooronga Road level crossing, located at the down end of the station. The signal box and a goods yard were also abolished during that time.[1]
