Originally, the station was to be named Marine Barracks, after the Washington Marine Barracks located a few blocks south of the station on 8th Street.[1] However, after lobbying from the Capitol Hill Restoration Society, the name was changed to Eastern Market.[1] The station opened on July 1, 1977.[2] Its opening coincided with the completion of Script error: No such module "convert".[3] of rail between National Airport and RFK Stadium and the opening of an entire section of line, which included 16 stations in total, between the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and Stadium–Armory stations.[4] Orange Line service to the station began upon the line's opening on November 20, 1978.[5] Silver Line service at Eastern Market began on July 26, 2014.[6]
