The Convention Center stop was originally called Pratt Street, named for the cross street by that name.

On July 10, 2019, the northbound accessible platform segment fell into a sinkhole caused by a broken water main.[2] The incident caused the line to be closed between Camden and North Avenue until August 19.[3]
