The second station on the West line, it opened with preview service on December 8, 2012,^[2] and opened for revenue service on December 10, 2012.^[3]^[4]

The Kerby Centre (a major drop-in centre for seniors) was planned to be relocated to a location beside this LRT station by 2017 from its current location in downtown Calgary,^[6] but this plan was later dropped in favour of considering other locations.^[7] As of spring 2023, new residential development is underway north of Bow Trail.
