The station, like the suburb itself, was named after Pascoeville, a property owned by John Pascoe Fawkner, one of the founders of Melbourne.[3]

The railway past the site of Pascoe Vale station was opened in 1872, as part of the North East line to Wodonga.[4]

The original station building, provided on Platform 1 in 1886, has since been replaced. In 1929, a signal box was opened, which controlled interlocked gates at the Gaffney Street level crossing,[5] until boom barriers replaced them in 1965.[2]
