Originally opened on May 29, 1912 as a local station of the New York, Westchester & Boston Railroad, it was closed on December 12, 1937 when the NYW&B went bankrupt. In 1940 the City of New York purchased the right of way from the Bronx line southward. In 1941 a shuttle service was implemented between Dyre Avenue and East 180th Street using IRT gate cars.

Over the years the 2 local platforms were removed and a island platform put in place. The trackways for the NYW&B's southbound local and express tracks can still be seen.

The station is on an elevated embankement. The station entrance is below at street level.
