It opened on November 3, 1986 and has been the western terminus of the Orange Line since that date, having taken over from Du Collège station.

The station was designed by the architectural firms of Jodoin, Lamarre, Pratte, & Co and Cayouette & Saia.

Three new bus shelters at the southern entrance on Edouard-Laurin Boulevard, serving the metropolitan routes, were finished at about the same time.

The station is equipped with the MétroVision information screens which displays news, commercials, and the time till the next train.

The station underwent construction to build a new garage to increase frequency during rush hours and it was closed from May 29 to August 22, 2021 to install a track switch just south of the station to allow trains to turn back more quickly.
