Long Ping and Yuen Long stations were built under a combined contract, numbered CC-202, which was awarded to the AMEC-Hong Kong Construction Joint Venture. The contract, worth HK$1.76 billion, commenced in September 1999. A topping-out ceremony for both stations was held on 24 May 2002.[1]

The station opened on 20 December 2003 with the inauguration of the West Rail.
