The BART Board approved the name "South Hayward" in December 1965.[3] The station opened as part of the first segment of the BART system on September 11, 1972.[4] Due to a national strike that year by elevator constructors, elevator construction on the early stations was delayed. Elevators at most of the initial stations, including South Hayward, were completed in the months following the opening.[5][6]
