History
The station was opened in 1968 in what was then the Borough of Etobicoke. Until 1973, buses and the subway trains serving the station were in separate fare zones.
In 2000, the station was damaged by a fire on a waste collection train, just after the subway had closed for the night. This was most likely caused by a lit cigarette disposed of in a garbage can at another station. After this incident, the TTC switched to leaving waste outside stations for collection by truck.
