History
The old station at the former site originally opened in 1925. In February 2003, the construction of a new Oak Flats station, completed by Mainland Civil, and designed by Design Inc included a new bus interchange. The current station is located about 400m south of the former site, with the platform relocated onto the eastern side of the track. A newly constructed footpath links the former station site with the present one.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History is the present. That’s why every generation writes it anew. But what most people think of as history is its end product, myth.”
—E.L. (Edgar Lawrence)
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
