The station opened on 26 May 1976 when the line was extended from Carrefour Pleyel to Basilique de Saint-Denis. It was later renovated for the opening of the Stade de France to enable it to handle large flows of passengers. It now has a large hall with many gates to channel large crowds using the station to attend events at the Stade de France.

Nearby is also the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire. In 2014, the station became the southern terminus of Île-de-France tramway Line 8.
