The station opened in 1994, two years after VRE began service, as an infill station.[2]

An extension to the platform was completed in 2017 to accommodate direct passenger access to all entry on 8 car trains. The platform extension officially opened on December 11, 2017, with a ribbon cutting ceremony for this improvement held on March 8, 2018.[3][4]

Future work at the station will include a second platform and pedestrian overpass to accommodate construction of the fourth track by DRPT. On July 2, 2020, this project was cancelled by the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA) and deferred until 4th track construction.[5]
