The station opened on January 10, 1998, as part of the Muni Metro Extension project.^[1]^[2] It was initially served by a temporary E Embarcadero line between Embarcadero station and 4th and King/Caltrain station. N Judah service replaced the shuttle service on August 22, 1998.^[1] The adjacent San Francisco Giants baseball stadium (then named Pacific Bell Park) opened in 2000, with 2nd and King station serving as a major transit connection for the stadium and surrounding redevelopment.

T Third Street service began on April 7, 2007; N Judah service was initially cut back to Embarcadero station, with J Church service added at peak hours.^[3]^[4] On June 30, 2007, the J and N were restored to their previous configuration.^[5] E Embarcadero heritage streetcar service was added on August 1, 2015.^[6]
