Construction began in 1929 and the station opened on 22 June 1930. In 1984, a third track was built as part of a new single-track shuttle service to the new station serving the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), which was later doubled-tracked and re-routed through it in 1995.

This station is the closest station to the UAB residential hall (Vila Universitària).
