The station originally opened as Keilor Road, at a slightly different location, on 1 March 1859, and was renamed Sydenham in April 1887.

Interlocked gates were provided at the Melton Highway level crossing in 1926, and were replaced with boom barriers in 1987. The current level crossing was provided in late 2002, in conjunction with the duplication of the Melton Highway. In 2015, the Level Crossing Removal Authority announced the grade separation of the highway and railway line.

As part of the extension of the electrified network from St Albans, the station was relocated southwards in 2002, and renamed Watergardens. The new station was to be called Sydenham, of which the name itself was built into the brickwork of the station building. However, naming rights were sold to the adjacent Watergardens Shopping Centre.

A stabling yard is located at the Down end of the station.
