History
Whilst the Eastern Suburbs Railway was not originally intended to travel via Edgecliff, the first proposal for an Edgecliff Station was in 1947. In 1963 it was suggested that Edgecliff be the terminus of the first stage of the Railway but by 1967 it was decided Bondi Junction was a better terminus location.
The station and bus terminal opened on 23 June 1979.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Man watches his history on the screen with apathy and an occasional passing flicker of horror or indignation.”
—Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)
“Revolutions are the periods of history when individuals count most.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
