History from Wikipedia:
"The first railway station built here was originally named Waterdown, due to its location on Waterdown Road. The Canadian Pacific Railway constructed a rail line from Guelph Junction to Hamilton in 1912 and built a station in the neighbouring town of Waterdown, with the station here subsequently renamed after the community of Aldershot, where it is situated.

The Great Western Railway established the line between Niagara Falls and Toronto in 1856, with that company being purchased in 1882 by the Grand Trunk Railway which merged into the Canadian National Railway in 1920."
