Location

The original Lawrence station was built by the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad, which completed the first rail link between San Francisco and San Jose in 1864.^[3] By August 1866, "Lawrence's" station had appeared in the timetable.^[4] It was named for Alfred Chester Lawrence, who owned the land in the area at the time.^[5] The San Francisco and San Jose Railroad was acquired by Southern Pacific, which continued to operate a station at Lawrence until 1945.^[6] In 1982 or 1983,^[7][8] Caltrain reopened the station.
