The station was opened on 5 April 1964 as part of the first section of the Red line, between T-Centralen and Fruängen, with a branch to Örnsberg.[3] Originally, it was a surface-level station with two platforms and a single exit at the southern end, adjacent to the bus terminal. Since 2000, a second exit has been added in the northern part of Liljeholmen, providing direct access to the Tvärbanan tramway station. In the early 2000s, the station was renovated into an indoor facility (though still above ground) and expanded with a third platform for trains heading to Fruängen and Norsborg. The redevelopment also included a new underground bus terminal, with squares and residential buildings constructed above the station.[4]
