In December 1970, a vicious riot took place at this stop and in the area between shipyard workers and communist militia and some people, notably Zbyszek Godlewski, were killed.

The name of the stop (Stocznia: shipyard in English) is connected with the nearby Shipyard of Gdynia, and it was used primarily by its workers until its closure in 2009. The Gdynia Maritime University (Uniwersytet Morski w Gdyni), after which the station was partially renamed in June 2020 for its 100th anniversary, is also located within walking distance of this station.[2][3]
