The station opened on 24 September 1973 with the extension of the line from Maisons-Alfort-Les Juilliottes. It was the southeastern terminus of the line until its extension to Créteil–Préfecture on 9 September 1974. It is named after the Échat district of Créteil. It was the first station not located underground since an extension of Line 6 in 1909.
In 2017, construction started on line 15's station and is expected to open in 2025 and is underground.[1]

Platforms
Créteil–L'Échat is an aboveground station and originally had a single island platform flanked by 2 tracks, with an unused siding towards the west side of the station. On 12 February 2021, an additional island platform was commissioned such that each direction (Balard and Créteil-Pointe du Lac) has their own platform in anticipation of heavier traffic once line 15 opens in late 2025.
