The suburb of Longueuil contributed $3.3 million towards the construction of the line. The station opened in April 1967 along with the rest of the Yellow Line.
It is a normal side platform station, with a ticket hall installed directly at platform level on the departure platform. As a result, a new fare must be purchased to switch platforms.
