The station's site is near the former Delta station on the San Pedro via Gardena Line of the Pacific Electric. It was also the southern terminus of the Los Angeles Railway F Line, allowing interchanges between the two systems. Pacific Electric service ended in 1940, while the F Line ran until 1955.
