The Line 2 station was opened on 30 November 1994 as part of the inaugural section of Line 2, between General Anaya and Zaragoza.[4] After the inauguration of the extended Line 2 by President Felipe Calderón and other dignitaries, ridership on the Monterrey Metro system surged from 260,000 per day to 334,000 per day.[5] Cuauhtémoc, San Nicolás, and Alameda were the stations that saw the greatest increase in passenger use and many riders were delayed before service adjustments could be made.[5]
