Sutherland station opened on 26 December 1885 as the interim terminus of the Illawarra line when it was extended from Hurstville.
The station opened for general rail traffic on 1 March 1886.
It consisted of a brick station facing both the road and railway, a goods shed, and a stationmaster's residence.
On 9 March 1886, the line was extended to Waterfall.

On 16 December 1939, Sutherland became a junction station with the opening of the Cronulla line.
Although the electric wires continued south to Loftus and Royal National Park, until this was extended to Waterfall in 1980, Sutherland was the transfer station for services to Wollongong.
