Parramatta station is one of Sydney's oldest. Sydney's first line connected Sydney and Parramatta Junction near Granville and opened on 26 September 1855. It was extended to the current Parramatta station on 4 July 1860.

Prior to the Main Western line being quadrupled from Granville to Westmead in 1985, the station consisted of four platforms, platforms 3 and 4 on the main line and 1 and 2 on a loop. Platforms 1 and 4 now serve the Main Line and platforms 2 and 3 serve the Suburban Line.

In 1985, the station was refurbished with a new underground subway bus interchange built at the station's north-east side.

In late 2003, work began on a new transport interchange which linked the station to the neighbouring Westfield Parramatta shopping centre. The works included upgrading the station, providing more access to commuters, and constructing a new bus interchange. On 19 February 2006 the interchange was opened.

Parramatta was one of the first stations serviced on the Sydney Trains suburban network to utilise taller, jump-proof Opal gates. These gates are designed to crack down on fare evasion caused by customers jumping over the gates, while the faster opening and closing of the gates allows customers to access the platforms faster.
