History
In 1997, DART purchased a Knights of Columbus lodge for use as a station site, which was tentatively named Northwest Highway.

Construction on the site began on January 15, 1999 as part of a larger extension between Mockingbird station and Garland. The station was designed to evoke historic architecture around White Rock Lake, including a faux-spillway filled with landscaping and columns in the style of the White Rock Lake boathouse.

A test run of the 3.1 mi of track between Mockingbird and White Rock was completed in July 2001. White Rock station opened three months later on September 24, 2001. It served as the northern terminus of the Blue Line until May 2002, when the line was extended to LBJ/Skillman.

In 2002, Dallas received $10.9 million in federal funding to extend the Katy Trail to White Rock station.
