Eastcote was known as Estcotte during the 13th century and the name is only slightly changed in the course of time. The name is derived from the Old English cote, cottage' or shelter' and means 'the cottage(s) to the east', literally the hamlet to the east of Ruislip, for there was once a Westcott also.
The station was opened as EASTCOTE on 26 May 1906.
