History

In preliminary maps, this was named Voice of America station, after the government-owned radio service located a block away.[2] In September 1971, Department of Health, Education and Welfare secretary Eliot Richardson suggested the current name, noting that "The Voice of America is by far the smallest agency in the Southwest area".[2] The station opened on July 1, 1977.[3] Its opening coincided with the completion of 11.8 miles (19.0 km)[4] of rail between National Airport and RFK Stadium and the opening of the Arlington Cemetery, Capitol South, Crystal City, Eastern Market, Farragut West, Federal Triangle, Foggy Bottom–GWU, L'Enfant Plaza, McPherson Square, National Airport, Pentagon, Pentagon City, Potomac Avenue, Rosslyn, Smithsonian, and Stadium–Armory stations.[5] Orange Line service to the station began upon the line's opening on November 20, 1978.[6] Silver Line service at Federal Center SW began on July 26, 2014.[7]

From March 26, 2020 until June 28, 2020, this station was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8][9][10]

Between January 15 to January 21, 2021, this station was closed because of security concerns due to the Inauguration of Joe Biden.[11]
