The metro station opened on 2 October 1988 as part of the Rogier–Simonis extension of line 2, the same year that line was converted from premetro (underground tram) to heavy metro. Then, following the reorganisation of the Brussels Metro on 4 April 2009, it now lies on the joint section of lines 2 and 6.[1][2]
