Lynwood station is a elevated light rail station on the C Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. It is located in the median of Interstate 105 (Century Freeway) above Long Beach Boulevard, in the city of Lynwood, California, after which the station is named.

The original name for the station was Long Beach Boulevard/I-105, but was later shortened to Long Beach Boulevard.

In January 2025, Metro board chair Janice Hahn, on behalf of the Gateway Cities Council of Governments, requested that the station be renamed Lynwood, to prevent confusion with the A Line station down in Long Beach.[4] The name change was approved on January 23, 2025.[5]

History

Lynwood Depot at its original location on Long Beach Boulevard, April 1980

The first Lynwood station was established by the Los Angeles Inter-Urban Electric Railway in 1905 as part of the West Santa Ana Branch. It was little more than a simple shed adjacent to sugar beet fields at the intersection of Long Beach Boulevard.[a][6] The line and station was folded into the new Pacific Electric Railway in 1911. In 1917,[7] the Lynwood Company constructed a new Depot designed in the Mission Revival style by architect, Bernard Maybeck for the railroad in exchange for other nearby grade and level crossing improvements. Interurban service was discontinued in 1958 with the rest of the Santa Ana Line.

The Depot building was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on September 25, 1974. It was also catalogued by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1908.[7] The building was acquired by the City of Lynwood as a gift from Southern Pacific (successors to the PE). When the Century Freeway was constructed through Lynwood in the late 1980s, the Depot building was moved to its current location at 3780 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard near the entrance to Lynwood City Park.[b][8] The modern Lynwood station serves the Los Angeles Metro Rail C Line light rail near Lynwood Depot's original location.
