History

thumb|upright|left|Oakville station, circa 1920

The Grand Trunk Railway was important to the development of Oakville because it was the

major transportation link for goods and people to Toronto or Hamilton, and beyond. The original Great Western Railway station was built here in 1856, on the same site as the current VIA and GO Stations. Vehicular access was improved and a covered drop off and pick up area was created with more than 1,000 new parking spaces added in a new six-storey parking structure. The bus shelters were replaced with heated shelters in the spring of 2015.

In 2018, Fortinos signed a deal with Metrolinx to have a PC Express kiosk and pick-up van at this station for online orders.
