The station opened on 5 November 1910 as part of the original section of the Nord-Sud Company's line A between Porte de Versailles and Notre-Dame-de-Lorette.

On 23 April 1930, a collision between two trains near the station resulted in the deaths of two people and 37 injured.

[1][4] As part of the "Un métro + beau" programme by the RATP, the station's corridors were renovated and modernised on 18 December 2009.

[5] Since 2016, the Vaugirard Workshops, used for the maintenance of trains on line 12 just north of the station, has been under renovation as part of memorandum of understanding between the RATP and the city of Paris.

The station has been served by tramway T3a since 16 December 2006 (as part of its initial section between Pont du Garigliano and Porte d'Ivry) and by tramway T2 since 21 November 2009 (when it was extended from Issy – Val de Seine), serving as its southern terminus.

The tram station's name subtitle is shortened to Parc des Expositions.
