The initial segment of the IRT White Plains Road Line opened on November 26, 1904 between 180th Street–Bronx Park and Jackson Avenue.

[10][6][11] The New York State Transit Commission announced plans to extend the southbound platforms at seven stations on the line from Jackson Avenue to 177th Street to accommodate ten-car trains for $81,900 on August 8, 1934.

[15] On March 15, 1989, three men set the wooden station house on fire after a failed attempt to rob the token booth.

[17] Artwork called El 2/El 5 by Michael Kelly Williams was installed in the mezzanine and features two mosaic murals depicting underground and elevated tracks.

Both platforms have beige windscreens that run along the entire length and brown canopies with green frames and support columns in the center.
