Included originally as part of the network, both this and the 48th Street station were deferred and not constructed in 1987 due to intense neighborhood opposition. However, both would open as infill stations in July 1994 due to a shift in attitude towards the rail project following its successful opening from the surrounding neighborhoods.
In October 2019, RT and the UC Davis Health Medical Center have reached an agreement to rename the station from 39th Street to 39th Street/UC Davis Health station.
