It was originally built by the Long Island Rail Road at Holland Avenue and Beach 92nd Street between May and June 1880 along the Rockaway Beach Branch for the nearby Holland Hotel, and was also a trolley stop of the Ocean Electric Railway.

[4] Now operated by the New York City Transit Authority, it reopened as a subway station along the IND Rockaway Line on June 28, 1956.

During that time, the Rockaway Park Shuttle was not in operation and A service was cut to Howard Beach–JFK Airport.

[6] As part of its 2025–2029 Capital Program, the MTA has proposed making the station wheelchair-accessible in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.

Outside of fare control, there are stairs to either eastern corner of Rockaway Freeway and Beach 90th Street.
