Location

The station is not named for the Crenshaw neighborhood of Los Angeles, which is located several miles north of it and is served by the K Line.

The station was initially named Crenshaw/I-105 but was later simplified to Crenshaw in 2000.

The stories on the tiled walls at the station's street-level plaza were collected and organized by Buzz Spector in an artwork entitled "Crenshaw Stories."
