Kananook station opened on 25 August 1975.
The station was originally to be named 'Wells Road', and a station between Seaford and Carrum was to be named 'Kananook', the original Kananook station was never built.
On 11 July 1990, Sarah MacDiarmid disappeared from Kananook station. She was last seen walking to the station carpark. The station was featured in the first episode of the Australian TV series Sensing Murder, which aired on Network Ten in September 2004.
In 2007 the station was upgraded as part of the EastLink road project linking the north-eastern suburb of Ringwood to Frankston. The station building was dismantled and replaced with a shelter, and a freeway noise protection wall was constructed.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“The history of men’s opposition to women’s emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
