Quarry Bay station opened as part of the second phase of the Island Line on 31 May 1985. The station was expanded in 1989 with the addition of Platforms 3 and 4, which served as the terminus of Kwun Tong Line until 2002. The line was then extended to North Point on August 18 of the same year; these two platforms are now a part of the Tseung Kwan O Line.
