History

The BART Board approved the name "San Leandro" in December 1965. [4] The station opened on September 11, 1972 – part of the first BART line. [2] Due to a national strike that year by elevator constructors, elevator construction on the early stations was delayed. Elevators at most of the initial stations, including San Leandro, were completed in the months following the opening. [5] [6]
