History
East Falls Church opened as part of the final westward extension of the Orange Line to Vienna on 7 June 1986.
The planned Silver Line will tentatively begin service in 2013. It will run between Stadium-Armory in the east, following the Orange Line route until it reaches this station, where it will branch off towards the northwest, eventually reaching Dulles International Airport. The station will then become a transfer point.
