It was given its current name to "Glen Huntly" on 13 April 2023 as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project.

[6] Glen Huntly station is currently served by the Frankston line, part of the Melbourne railway network.

A small signal box is located at the Flinders Street end of the tram square, which historically controlled the tramway crossing.

[8] Glen Huntly station opened on 19 December 1881, when the railway line from Caulfield was extended to Mordialloc.

Like the suburb itself, the station was named after the ship Glen Huntly, which docked at Point Ormond (then known as Little Red Bluff) on 7 April 1840 with typhus fever onboard.

A track leading to the Point and subsequent quarantine station was later named Glen Huntly Road.

It was replaced with a brick building, which was opened on 1 July 1987 by the then Minister for Transport Tom Roper, and former Member for Glenhuntly Dr. Gerard Vaughan.

[16][17] On 21 June 2021, designs for the rebuilt station were revealed, showing that the level crossings will be removed by lowering the railway line into an approximate 1 km (0.62 mi) trench.
