The station originally opened on 27 May 1888. At that time it was the western terminus of the Annemasse-Genève-Eaux-Vives line to Annemasse. This station was closed in 2011, and later demolished, to permit the construction of a new underground station on the CEVA line. The station reopened in December 2019 as part of the launch of the new Léman Express network.
