This station opened on June 16, 1996, as part of the North/South Line (later renamed the Blue Line) extension to the Old Town Transit Center.[1] On July 2, 2011, the station was closed for renovations[2][3] as part of the Trolley Renewal Project.[4] It was originally supposed to reopen by early September,[2] but numerous construction issues pushed the reopening to November 24, 2011.[5][6]

The stone wall on the Southbound side of the station was destroyed in the Summer of 2024 and instead replaced with a fence side with remnants of the old wall.
