Mobiltown opened on November 9, 1953 as the 'Standard Oil Platform'. It was built for the use of workers at the adjacent Vacuum Oil Company and the Broun Trans-World Construction company, with trains stopping at times to suit. It was not until September 7, 1958 that it was made a public platform and most trains were timetable to stop there.
The platform was renamed Mobiltown in 1954 after 'Mobil' was adopted as the trading name of the Vacuum Oil Company. The platform was closed on 1985 and removed, with no remains visible today.
