During planning, the station was simply known as "La Verne", with Metro adopting the current name in March 2019 in response to staff recommendation and community feedback.[3]
As the third station on the Foothill Extension Phase 2B to Pomona project, it was officially dedicated with a ceremony on June 21, 2025, featuring regional politicians and a celebration for the general public.[4] It opened on September 19, 2025.[5]
The city of La Verne, in partnership with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments, intends to construct a pedestrian overpass connecting the A Line station with the Fairplex. The overpass will cross Arrow Highway and the San Bernardino Line railroad right-of-way.[6]
