It was accessed via a pedestrian tunnel under the Caltrain tracks from Evelyn Avenue at the intersection with Pioneer Way.

The station was built as part of the Tasman West extension project and opened December 17, 1999.

As part of the Light Rail Efficiency Project, a second track was added between Mountain View station and Whisman station for the Mountain View–Winchester, and leaving Evelyn in place would have required narrowing Central Expressway and Evelyn Avenue to accommodate the track.

The long-term plan is to use the two-acre parking lot parcel to build 180 affordable apartments.
