Claremont station opened in 1881 as Butlers Swamp, being renamed Claremont in 1883. In 1886 a new station was constructed three hundred metres to the east. The 1886 buildings are now the oldest extant railway station buildings in Perth. It was the only station on the line to be built with a crossing loop.

In 2020, John Holland Group were awarded the contract to undertake the construction works at Claremont station. Claremont station was closed, and the Fremantle line was partially shut down to complete the upgrade of Claremont station and build the two turnback sidings. Claremont station saw 579,729 passengers in the 2013–14 financial year.
