History
A station at 900 South was proposed as part of the original Sandy/Salt Lake Line completed in 1999. Although no station was yet in place, by 2000 local developers began to develop high-density housing and retail uses in the vicinity of where the 900 South station was once proposed. As a result of the creation of higher-density housing in providing for a ridership base, on 6 April 2004, UTA officials announced a station at 900 South would be constructed. By November both UTA and Salt Lake City signed an agreement for the construction of the $1.2 million station to be funded through the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City.
Groundbreaking for the station occurred on 21 April 2005. UTA officials announced the addition of the station would only add an additional two minutes to the existing travel time between the termini and represent the first infill station completed along the line since its opening in 1999. The station commenced service on 19 September 2005, following six months of construction.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
“... the history of the race, from infancy through its stages of barbarism, heathenism, civilization, and Christianity, is a process of suffering, as the lower principles of humanity are gradually subjected to the higher.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“In the history of the United States, there is no continuity at all. You can cut through it anywhere and nothing on this side of the cut has anything to do with anything on the other side.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
