MacArthur station opened on September 11, 1972, as the northern terminus of the inaugural BART line, which ran to Fremont.
Upon the opening of the Transbay Tube in 1974, the station began to serve Transbay trains to San Francisco.
The station included several pieces of public art: an abstract mural by Mark Adams over a staircase (which Adams later replaced with two murals after the stairs were removed), and tile mosaics by Adams and Alfonso Pardiñas in the fare lobby.

Nia Wilson was killed at the station on July 22, 2018.
Sunday-only service to the station on the Dublin/Pleasanton line was operated from February 11, 2019 to February 10, 2020.
