As of 14 September 1970 Line 2 originally terminated at Metro Tacuba, but on 22 August 1984 the line was extended an additional two stations to reach the municipality of Naucalpan.

General information The station logo is a large geodesic dome depicting the former nearby Toreo de Cuatro Caminos bull fighting ring, which the station takes its name from, however the bullring was torn down in 2008. The station's surroundings (popularly known as the paradero), are the main public transport hub to Toluca and northwestern municipalities in the State of Mexico, such as Naucalpan, Atizapán, Tlalnepantla or Huixquilucan, as well as a major connection point to several destinations within the Mexico City proper and it also serves as the housing of a large street market, which is known largely because of its poor general conditions. Officially, no private vehicles are allowed in the area.
Upon leaving the station, there are two main corridors, labeled "North" and "South". North corridor (denoted by the exits A to K), is mainly used for transportation to State of Mexico, while the "South" corridor is mainly aimed at passengers going to the city (denoted by exit letters J to Z), though this is not strictly the case.
The South corridor (if walked) leads to the Mexipuerto bus terminal, the Toreo Parque Central and Pericentro shopping malls, the Anillo Periférico, and various military facilities, while the North corridor leads to the industrial complex of Naucalpan.
In 2003, the Mexican popular music group Café Tacuba produced an album with the title "Cuatro Caminos" in homage to this part of the city.
