The Southern Pacific built their line north of Los Angeles to Burbank by mid-1873.[4] The company rebuilt the station in 1927. That building was destroyed in a fire in 1991.[5]

The modern station opened on October 26, 1992 with the inauguration of Metrolink services.[6]

In 2020, the Burbank City Council approved an extension of the Chandler Boulevard Bike Path to the station along a route that will include the under-construction Burbank Channel Bikeway[7] and a connection to the San Fernando Bikeway.[8]

The North Hollywood to Pasadena Rapid Bus Line, currently under construction and scheduled to open in 2027, will stop at Olive/Lake, nearby, but not at, the station, due to safety concerns regarding the existing Olive Avenue bridge.[9][10]
