By 1920, the Subiaco community wanted a railway station in the southern part of Subiaco. The Subiaco Municipal Council started lobbying the Government of Western Australia for a station to be built near Lawler Street. In 1922, after many meetings between the premier, the minister for railways, and the mayor of Subiaco, Walter Richardson, the government promised that the station would be built. The station was constructed during 1923 and the first half of 1924, and was named after Henry Daglish, who was a mayor of Subiaco, a member for the electoral district of Subiaco, and a premier of Western Australia in the 1900s. Daglish was a resident of Subiaco for 22 years before he died in 1920. In 1925, the Municipality of Subiaco acquired the land north-west of the station. Previously planned to be used as a rail yard, the council planned to create a residential suburb there named Daglish. From the opening date of the station until 31 January 1970, a station master worked at Daglish station, An assistant station master also worked from 4pm to midnight, but that position was abolished in October 1962. On 31 January 1970, the then-operator of the railway network, the Western Australian Government Railways, closed the station's parcels and ticket offices due to changes to the way that freight was handled. The windows and doors to the station building were filled in with bricks, and the building is now occupied by electrical equipment. In May 2007, the turnback siding was opened between the mainline tracks south-west of the station, permitting the reversal of six-car trains moving special event crowds to and from Subiaco Oval. Since 10 October 2022, the station has been served by Airport line services in addition to the pre-existing Fremantle line services, and since the Ellenbrook line opened in December 2024, trains on that line have used the Daglish siding to reverse direction without stopping at the station. There have been complaints from local residents regarding the noise generated by trains entering and exiting the siding regularly. Planned future upgrades include extending the platform to , ==Services==
