History

On July 30, 2012, the first phase of the Orange Line, which ran from Bachman to Irving Convention Center, opened. As part of the opening, three bus routes were moved from North Irving Transit Center to the future North Lake College station.[5]

On December 3, 2012, Orange Line service was extended to North Lake College and Belt Line.[2]

In 2020, the Dallas County Community College District announced that it would merge its seven constituent institutions, including North Lake College, into a single institution, Dallas College.[6] Following the merger, North Lake College was renamed to Dallas College North Lake Campus. On October 12, 2021, following a request from Dallas College, North Lake College station was also renamed.[7]
