The station was previously one of two terminals for bus route 22, the other being Hebron station. When the route was removed in 2021,[2] the station became a hub for DCTA's on-demand GoZone service.
In 2019, the station was formally renamed in honor of Charles Emery, a former chairman of DCTA and member of the Lewisville City Council. A placard commemorating him and his wife, Elaine, was installed at the station.[3]
