Completed in 1999 under the name "Arroyo del Fresno" (serving the barrio of that name, literally "Ash brook"), the station did not open to the public for many years due to the lack of development in the area.^[2]

With developments being built nearby, this station opened to public on 23 March 2019.^[3]

History

The station was built along with six other stations as part of the expansion of Line 7 from Valdezarza to Pitis. The expansion cost 25 billion pesetas (150 million euros) and was completed in 1999, two months before the regional elections.
