The station opened on 10 September 1974 with the extension of the line from Créteil–L'Échat. Its name refers to the nearby prefecture (administrative headquarters of the department) of the Val-de-Marne.

The 40 hectares (99 acres) Créteil lake was opened nearby in 1970 in a former quarry.

Créteil–Préfecture became a through station when line 8 was extended 1.3 km east to Pointe du Lac on 8 October 2011.
