History

Pearl station was an inaugural DART rail station, opening with the Red and Blue lines on June 14, 1996.[1] It served as the northern terminus of both lines until they were extended in 1997[3] and 1999,[4] respectively.

On July 30, 2012, Pearl station was renamed to Pearl/Arts District station to emphasize its proximity to the Arts District.[5]
