The station opened on 8th April 1857 as East Maitland. It was originally a side platform. It was only open for eleven months, closing on 9th March 1858. During this time period, the station served as the terminus of the Hunter Line from Newcastle. The station reopened in 1877 and was renamed Victoria Street because there was a new station built with the name East Maitland.
A new waiting shed was built in 1878. In 1899, the platforms were extended. In 1914, the station was converted from a side platform to an island platform, and a footbridge was built. On 2 April 1999, the station was added to the NSW State Heritage Register. [1] [2][3]
