History
Constructed on land formerly occupied by Johnsontown, a small African American settlement established in 1912, the station's site was acquired in the early 1980s with residential structures removed to make way for development. The station commenced operations in 1984 as part of the Northeast Line extension (now known as the Gold Line) from Arts Center to what was then called Brookhaven/Oglethorpe station. In 1994, its station code was updated from N7 to NE7.
