History

It was opened by Kristiania Elektriske Sporvei together with the rest of the Lilleaker Line, as an extension of the Skøyen Line.

During the last part of World War Two, the station was out of commission; parts of the Furulund neighborhood (or Furulunden) were seized for use by Gestapo as headquarters. [1]
