History

The station building was constructed in 1914 by the Pacific Electric.[1] The Upland–San Bernardino Line began operation on July 11, but cars may had run here from Pomona as early as January.[2] Passenger service was discontinued in 1941,[2] but the depot continued to function as a freight depot until 1960.[1]

After being sold by the railroad, the property was used as a lumber yard until 2004.[1] The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 21, 2011.
