History

Morradoo station opened on 7 November 1960 as Rail Motor Stopping Place Number 15 (abbreviated to RMSP 15),[2] and was renamed Morradoo in 1996 by Bree Saunders of Crib Point Primary School, who won a local competition to rename the station. Her suggestion, Morradoo was accepted and the new name was installed in January 1997.

In 1996 the platform was extended to 25 m and a new shelter was erected.

The name "Morradoo" comes from an Aboriginal name meaning "powder and shot". It was also the original name for Crib Point.
