History
The station opened in September 1882 when a private company operated the line. The station was the end of the line when it opened. When South Australian Railways took over the line in the 1890's, they extended the line to Henley Beach. On August 31, 1957, the line was cut back to the Old Grange station. The station closed on the 9 March 1986 when the 'new' Grange station was opened to the east of Military Road. The new station being built to prevent road traffic from being distrupted from arriving trains. The ticket office and shelter was demolished shortly after but the unused platform remains in place.
