Originally opened January 9, 1989, the station was moved and rebuilt following Hurricane Wilma, reopening to service November 4, 2005. The station is the southernmost Tri-Rail station in Palm Beach County, and offers parking. By 2014, it was considered the busiest station in the system with 1,600 riders a day,{{cite news |url=http://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/palm-beach/boca-raton/fl-boca-raton-trains-tri-rail-20150407-story.html |title=As ridership increases, Boca Raton embraces train travel |date=April 7, 2015 |author=Philip D.
