History
The property for this station was purchased in March 1992 for $1.9 million; it was formerly farmland intended for residential development. Following the 1994 Northridge earthquake, construction efforts intensified, resulting in the station’s opening on January 26, 1994, merely nine days after the earthquake occurred.
