History
Keon Park station opened in 1929 as Keonpark, and was renamed Keon Park in 1972. The station opened at the same time as the extension of suburban services and electrification from Reservoir to Thomastown. Duplication was extended to the station in 1959, in conjunction with the extension of suburban services to Lalor. In 2011, the line was duplicated from Keon Park to Epping. The part of Reservoir east of the railway line and south of Keon Parade is sometimes known as Keon Park, and many of the shops in Johnston Street (which runs parallel to the railway line) include Keon Park in their names.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind.”
—Imre Lakatos (1922–1974)
“No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
