It was built by the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad in 1897 and is one of only three SF&SJV stations left in existence. Service by the Santa Fe Railroad ended on MayШаблон:Nbsp1, 1971; Amtrak service began in 1974.

In the early 1990s, the city sponsored a rehabilitation of the depot that included rebuilding the former freight section and enclosing the outdoor waiting room. A wide, curving canopy was added to the trackside façade to provide travelers with better protection from the sun and rain. Interior modifications resulted in a new layout that added office and commercial space.[1]

In 2006, the city moved forward with $1.5Шаблон:Nbspmillion in improvements to the adjacent bus bays that accommodate local and regional service provided by the Kings Area Regional Transit (KART) system. A Шаблон:Circa Southern Pacific wooden freight depot was moved to the site to provide a waiting room and ticket desk for bus passengers.[1]

San Joaquins are expected to cease services here once California High-Speed Rail operations begin.[2]
