Pico station opened along with the Blue Line (now [[A Line (Los Angeles Metro)|A Line]]) on July 14, 1990, and was the site of opening day celebrations. Because the underground portion of the line was not yet complete, this station served as the northern terminus for the line until February 1991 when 7th St/Metro Center Station opened.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.metro.net/riding_metro/blue_line.htm|title=Blue Line station information|access-date=June 20, 2009|archive-date=May 22, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090522222031/http://www.metro.net/riding%5Fmetro/blue_line.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref>
