History

[edit]

This station was built under theDual Contracts. It opened on March 3, 1917, as part of an extension of the IRT White Plains Road Line fromEast 177th Street–East Tremont Avenue toEast 219th Street–White Plains Road, providing the Bronx communities ofWilliamsbridge andWakefield with access to rapid transit service. Service on the new portion of the line was operated as a four-car shuttle from 177th Street due to the power conditions at the time.^[3]^[4]^[5] The city government took over the IRT's operations on June 12, 1940.^[6]^[7]

It was renovated in 2004-2005 at a cost of approximately $12.48 million.^[8]
