Media station was built in 1960 by the PRR and is located several blocks away from Media–Orange Street station, the terminus of the SEPTA Route 101 line. However, no direct connection exists between the station and the trolley stop.

Woodrow Wilson spoke at the Media station in 1912 during his first election campaign.[citation needed]
