The station logo depicts three flowers, [3] [4] as its name comes from the Nahuatl language word tlacopan, that which means "land of flowers". [2] It refers to the ancient Tepanec kingdom of Tlacopan that existed in the area in pre-Columbian times. [2]

This transfer station was previously the terminal for Metro Line 2 and opened for service along that line on 14 September 1970. [5] Service was extended westward along Line 2 from Tacuba to Panteones and Cuatro Caminos on 22 August 1984. [5] Line 7 opened up through Tacuba on 20 December 1984. [5] The station transfers not only to Line 7 but also to a nearby mini-bus base, which serves boroughs Azcapotzalco and Miguel Hidalgo. Within the station facilities there is a cultural display and an information desk. [2]
